It's all around us, this love, floating around the air making its way into people's lives even though sometimes they don't realize it. Yes, it is also a very commercialized holiday, but take away the blush-colored cards, chocolates, and bouquets of flowers and there is real love. A love that cannot be explained in even the most crafty of talking cards, or in any of the Dove chocolate foil wrappers. A love that is true, and should be shown not only on Valentine's Day, but the whole year through.
I know that I've given my mom a good card when she starts tearing up and nods her head like she knows exactly what I meant to say, even though it may have been masked by the card companies cheesy sayings. Although sometimes I have to judge by my grandmother because my mom gets emotional over everything I do, even if it's my report card. But I guess that's what love is. Being proud no matter what of someone, because of who they are, not what they've done. Love is unconditional, it is free.
This Valentine's Day, I think we should all take a minute and appreciate the love that surrounds all of us. The kind that doesn't shine through in flashy cards, or bright red roses, but the kind that for the most part goes unnoticed. The love that is there no matter the weather or age, that withstands and withstood everything for people. It is important to remember this Love, for we can only trust upon it to live in the world today.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!!
