Happy Valentine’s Day. It’s not a holiday or celebrated day here – just any other day. We don’t get the candy conversation hearts or heart shaped boxes with chocolates or roses delivered.
I remember when David and I were dating he would have roses sent to my place of work and take me out for dinner. I would buy the conversation hearts that he enjoys and we would lovingly gaze at one another.
After children were added to our fold, I started buying Papa Murphy’s heart-shaped pepperoni pizza and would wait for David’s phone call that he was headed home from work. I would pop it in the oven to time it so when he walked in the door, the pizza would be ready. I would still purchase the conversation hearts – they became dessert.
In France, I made heart-shaped individual meatloaves for each of us.
Last year, I wanted to rekindle the Papa Murphy’s memory and made heart-shaped pizza’s.
I don’t know what I’ll do to help us celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, but I enjoy looking back at the photos from Valentine’s Day past.
Whether it’s a meatloaf, heart-shaped pizza, conversation hearts or roses – know that you are all loved dearly and deeply. Happy Valentine’s Day to all.
