One She Will Never Forget (at least not for a few months)
With the ice storm and being frozen in solid Gracie only went to school one day last week. Valentines Day came and went and there were not valentines from school mates to be looked over. Friday came and the little school dance was not to be as the school was closed. Finally, Monday came. Monday was to be a holiday but instead was reclaimed as a makeup day for the ice and snow.
Gracie came home with her Valentine's mailbox where all the children had deposited cards for her. As she did similarly with their own.
One card in the box stood out from all the others.
It is a homemade card. Constructed of a folded over index card. Not decorated with a commercial cartoon or other childish interest as found on store bought cards for children to exchange.
This one was written with red marker. Addressed clearly to Gracie. Decoratively ornate, yet very simple with a sticker on the front as if they were sweetheart candies.
I present to you possibly one of the best Valentine's day cards ever gotten by a girl in third grade (and for some maybe in their lifetime - even if he can't spell - yet).
He did not sign it. She thinks she knows who gave it to her. No one has confessed.
She feels special, beautiful, funny and smart.
That is indeed a wonderful gift to recieve at anytime in your life.
I think she is speshul, beaiteful, funnee and smart, too.

That's the kind of card every girl dreams of.

How precious. Tell her never to lose it because it will give her great pleasure when she is old and gray!

Now there's a marriage worth arranging. Get going.
I don't care whether he can spell or not, the boy can express himself. That's a keeper.
She is all those things.
(It is a boy, is it not?)

Oh the cuteness of that card is just too much!

The boy has a way with words even if he can't spell.

OMG that is the sweetest thing I've seen in too long! A keeper for the scrapbook for sure :)
And thank you for my sweet card, friend. You are so good to me.
