"Be my Valentine!" - "Just for you, here's my heart Valentine!" - from Valentines
“Be my Valentine” was the most quoted phrase on Valentine cards while growing up. It was with great excitement that we children received cards that said, “Here’s my heart Valentine!” Then it happened, the electricity flowed through my veins at a Sweetheart Ball, honoring Valentine’s Day. when a dashing young man whom I had seen two other times in my life appeared again. My blood tingled at the renewal of our acquaintance. I knew I would hear from him and I did. He called, and once more the electricity flowed. I listened to his voice as visions of a glorious future came to mind. We went to dances, civic activities, church events, and special places; we talked about feelings and dreams. It seemed I had met my other half. We were married and with every Valentine’s day I received a heart shaped box of chocolates, and a Valentine Card that often read like this, “ I can’t imagine anything more wonderful than sharing life with you!” Happy Valentine’s Day”. Again, I love Valentine’s Day.
