Happy Valentine’s Day!

This heart box from mother arrived with beautiful red roses for Valentine’s oh, 25 years ago. I treasure the card that came with the roses so much, because it has her beautiful handwriting on it. We lost Mother on Valentine’s Day 20 years ago, so it is a very poignant day for me. She was a fabulous strong, smart woman and I miss her every day. ❤️
