Daddy Loves You Mommy

"Daddy loves you, Mommy."

"Yes, he does."

I just opened my third gift from Mark, in three days and I was showing it to Brittany. For those of you who don't already know, my husband decided to celebrate the 'Six Days of Valentines' this year. You've never heard of it?? Well, I hadn't either. But, I must say I am really liking it.

I came home from work on Friday to see a gift sitting on my side of the bed. It was in a gift bag that in no uncertain terms was a Valentines gift. I told Mark that I couldn't open it until next Wednesday. He told me I would understand after I opened it. Inside was a beautiful homemade card explaining to me that we were celebrating the 'Six Days of Valentines' and to expect a gift each day. Well, I am certainly not one to deny my husband the opportunity of expressing his love to me through gift-giving.

Today was day three and each day has been as exciting as the one before. I know people will say that Valentines is a commercial holiday and that we need to show our love all year long. I AGREE! However, isn't it nice to have the person who means more to you than anyone else in the whole world celebrate their love for you on a day that is set aside as the 'love holiday'.

What I love more than knowing that my husband loves me, is having my children know that their Daddy loves their Mommy. Mark, thank you for showing our children that you love me.

Love always,
Rhonda Y
