Love tucked in!

I love Valentines Day but mom was great at expressing love everyday and that's where I learned about love tucked in…..Everyday some where some place mom would plant a love note….In and on the bed, lunches, new party dresses, under pillows, in our suitcase whenever we traveled without her, taped to mirrors and doorways…and most often with something little..a piece of candy…a charm or something we saw that we wanted!  At 51 when she left the house after staying with us for a month last summer I checked my pillow as soon as she left.  There it was a ceramic angel tending to a lamb that I saw at the fleamarket that I had loved.   Can you believe I actually checked??? I will always be her little girl.  She left her token of love  as I do my daughter and I may not be good at the notes but not a day goes by I don't tell my son and daughter how beautiful the world is with them in it..  Mom still does that but we rely on snail mail to carry these love messages over the Atalantic to the Carribean sea…something circled in a magazine and tossed in an envelope or a Psalm from the bible circled and mailed off to me or some wisdom from a new age guru!  The woman had 6  children and she is always thinking of ways to tuck love in……so to all of you this day of love letters find ways to say something special to someone you love and tuck it in!!
