Hallmark Moments
Hallmark commercials have been known to make me cry. The ones that make me cry the easiest retell the stories of romance, of young love, of first love, of new found love, man and woman love, adult romance, time tested and remaining true love.
Yesterday Hallmark hit me right where I live (and love) and it wasn't a commercial.
Steven was up at 4am and off to work. He left me in our bed with a tiny baby tucked close to my side having just finished nursing. When I woke later I walked into our livingroom to find cards laid out for each of us, the last bearing the name "Steven".
I opened the card addressed to our son and my heart flip-flopped in my chest, the reason I married the man I did surged through my veins and tears rushed to fill my eyes. I chose wisely this man that I married.
It's a Little One's 1st Valentine's Day. "Sometime's," said Pooh, "the smallest things take up the most room in your heart." Happy First Valentine's Day to someone sweet and small and new. I love you, Dad*sobbing*
Oh, oh, oh, oh Angie. I am crying too. It is hard to type with tears in your eyes. How wonderful is that? Most men wouldn't even think of a card for a newborn, expecially a boy. When he gets home today, give him a big hug and a kiss from me, will you? And tell him I am so impressed with him.
Meanwhile, I hope that you and the baby are doing well and getting enough rest. Kiss him too!
Oh that is just painfully sweet!
You are almost as bad as those commercials! Tearing me up at work. The other ones that get me are - folgers at christmas and long distance. But your story was better than all those commercials combined!
Sniff sniff. What a sweet sweet man. You did choose so wisely. Happy Valentine's Day!
Fine, now we're all sobbing.
Bliss, pure and simple.
~K!
That Steven is a heart-melter for sure! I'm so gald he gives you moments like this, Ang. You deserve them and a million more :) xoxo
It's clear that he also chose well.
xo
Just reading that made me want to cry.
I love it when big, strong men get all mushy over their little babies. How wonderful and sweet that your man is ever so thoughtful!
Never fear...Poop's here with a box of kleenex! That is soooooo incredibly sweet. You guys give me faith to keep believing in love.
now imagine what a great dad that your baby will someday be: with a man like that as a role model...
Awwww... You're making me want another baby.
That's gotta go in the baby book, right?
So sweet!
Awwww...
