the long letter
written on the outside of my valentine
was even more important
than the card inside
the kinder who worked very hard to write it all down
read it out loud to me
confident, proud, with voice inflections, hands moving
and so much to say.

Kinder is a second language for me, but I can tell it says, “We love you!”

That kinder and I have something in common – we both tend to use a lot of words to say the simplest of things. For a kinder, there was obviously a lot of thought and effort put into effect!

After all these years, how wonderful to see one of “old blog favs” still up and running and thriving too. So many of my former favorite blogs have sadly disappeared from the internet.
How are you Beth? Hope it’s been a good year for you, to date. I love the sound of “22” and that freedom is just around the corner now, even in this country. Long overdue.
I really enjoyed this Valentine’s tribute. Unique and touching.
I’m not blogging much now, focused on my writing and planning a big move asap, to leave Canada behind. I’m glad to touch base again tonight.😊
