A Valentine’s Day box for his favorite team. The joy of tiny hands passing around his sports valentines. A pink drink treat just for me. A holiday that once meant dinner reservations and getting dressed up, now a slow evening at home. The way it shifts, from romance to simple sweetness, from big gestures to small delights. Construction paper hearts and a toddler’s excitement. Remembering our own shoebox creations of childhood. Watching traditions change but love stay the same.
Cheers to the sweet simplicity of this season.
