her tiny face.
The little box was wrapped in newspaper. As I tore the paper off and opened the box, I found the sweetest Valentine gift that I have ever received.
After Roy and I left for our date, Becky got busy. She raided my fabric and cross-stitch box. She stitched the words “I Love Ya” on a piece of red fabric, cut the fabric in the shape of a heart, stitched the two pieces together, adorned4 it with lace and stuffed it with cotton. It was a heart-shaped pillow, filled with love, which I’ll cherish forever.
My wonderful Valentine gift has a special place in my bedroom today, some thirteen years later. As she was growing up into a young woman, many times I held that pillow close to my heart. I don’t know if a pillow can hold magic, but this pillow has surely held a great deal of joy for me over the years. It has helped me through several sleepless nights since she left home for college. I not only cherish the gift, but the memory, as well.
I know that I am a very lucky mother, indeed, to have such a wonderful little girl, who wanted so desperately5 to share her heart with me. As long as I live, there will never be another Valentine’s Day, which will be any more special to me.
