Two wrinkly old hands that have hearts that still sing ... je t'aime, mon amour.
Joshua made this Valentine for us in 1995 in Pre-K cutting up magazines & gluing them around his picture frame. It has been on our refrigerator since that day. I remember him so proud, bouncing out the door of school, with arms out stretched, a huge hug & a big 'Happy Valentine, Mini'. You bring us such joy & pride.
Each moment of precious hugs & joy Ansel, Tatiana & Jamie melt our hearts with & every word they share, the wonderful art they create for our wall, the pride we have in each of you ... nous sommes benis (we are so blessed).
HAPPY VALENTINE'S to each of you, our special friends, we send our love & ask for joys as you celebrate with your family & loved ones. A SPECIAL Valentine HUG OF LOVE to my wonderful brother, Buck. A precious hug of love to our daughter, Cari, son, Emery & DILove Cat, for giving us such wonderful joys in our lives & in you, our precious g-kidlings.
Very sweet post, Marydon! Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours. :)
