My dearest,

We open our mailbox and there are the usual flyers and bills. And an envelope in the shape of a Hallmark card. We dump the flyers in the rubbish bin and carry the rest with us back to our apartment.

Once inside, we drop our bags to the floor and settle onto the daybed. An envelope! A card! How exciting. Who could it be from? What could it be?

We open it.

Hearts. A daydreaming raccoon. A green meadow. Clouds in the sky. “…and to say I think of you so much. Happy Valentine’s Day to my two loving friends.”

It will be another week before Valentine’s Day arrives but it doesn’t matter. Today is a pretty sweet day for we know a friend is thinking of us, of the both of us. We are very blessed.

Yours, ever and always.
