I was my Mom’s Valentine every year. One year all I got was
a pink post-it note that said “I love you”. When I was young I got a heart
shaped cookie the size of a cookie sheet with my name spelled out with
chocolate chips. I remember many valentines’ gifts from her; a whole pan of
rice crispy treats, a red car scrubber, a handful of See’s chocolate suckers. She
never missed a year. Of course the were mostly delivered with a knock at the door and a wonderful surprise when you opened it.
