You have one week until Valentine’s Day, a day draped in reds and pinks and sprinkled with heart-shaped candies. And this day isn’t just a celebration of love; it’s a canvas of feelings, evolving beautifully with every phase of our lives.
As a baby, Valentine’s Day is a mystery, a whirl of colors and warmth. Parents hold their little ones close, whispering sweet nothings, while the baby babbles in return, an unspoken language of pure love. It’s a day of cuddles, baby giggles, and soft lullabies, painting a picture of unconditional love. Trotting into toddlerhood, it becomes a day of delightful mess. Hands dipped in paint, creating heartshaped art while frosting more of themselves than the cookies meant for Mom and Dad. It’s a day of innocent love, where a scribbled card holds the weight of a thousand words.
Then comes the school-age years, where Valentine’s becomes a day of sweet innocence. Writing names on cartoon-themed cards to give out in class, hoping your crush secretly knows their card is just a bit more special. It’s a day of giggles and blushes, where friendship is the purest form of love.
