78 Months

For some reason, I just adore Valentine's Day...the decorations, cards, fun traditions, the crafts. Giving to others little adorned doily cards and crafts that hopefully brighten their day. The theme of it all being hearts.

I have my little angel box which my aunt and grandmother made me while I was pregnant with Finley. The box you have tucked away and comes out when you need that extra boost. That box is all Lola. Lots of little angels, her picture, pennies, a nickel, a prayer. Milo is absolutely fascinated with it. It's a pretty special occasion for him to look through each delicate treasure. I have added an angel pin of Jp's grandmothers (Loretta) recently and Milo made a heart valentine for it this month. The cutest cut out heart, jaggedly edges and all with a picture of two smiley little people, signed by the artist himself. It is the perfect addition.

So even in a way we got our Lola valentine or what I will think of as her valentine. All the items in this tiny little box have such a big meaning. They remind you of all the strength and courage of where and who it came from because everyone has a story, even Lola.

Happy Valentine's Day.
