What is Love?

A day of heart shaped boxes with chocolates inside.
Red Cards with cupid shooting an arrow into someone's heart.
Red roses wrapped in cellophane or in a box.

What is Love? On Valentine's Day everyone is in love, or wants to be loved or is thinking about love.
I finally know what love is. I'm experiencing true love. It's hard to explain or put into words. It's a feeling of happiness and joy when you see that person. When you're with them, the world is just right, everything is perfect. When you're together, nothing else seems to matter.

Critter, my son, is the love of my life. Ever since I first laid eyes on him, I was head over heels for him. He has shown me what unconditional love is, what true affection is. These are feelings beyond words.

I tell him everyday I love him. I tell him so many times a day. I hold me close, smother him with kisses and tell him. And I think he loves me.

I ask him "Does Mommy love you?" and with a grin on his face he taunts me with a "No" and I shriek "WHAAAAT!". He then says "Mommy coming" and scampers away but not too fast so I can catch him to tickle and kiss him and again tell him  I LOVE HIM.

Happy Valentine's Day from Critter. 
He knows when you're in love your heart goes 
Pitter Patter Pitter Patter.
