valentine

whenever i think of real love i think of my mom & dad. they had a great marriage. married for 30 years with a love that spanned countries and cultures. and through that love came my sisters and i. when i got married, my mom gave me 6 gold bangles. they were the first jewelry my dad bought her and he gave them to her on their wedding night. i have not taken them off since my mom gave them to me on my wedding day, and when i look them i can't help but think about my parents as a very young very new couple and how they must have been feeling at the time this gift was given. i've never asked my mom about it, and i'm thinking i probably should do that.



hope your valentine's day is full of enduring love and happiness.

That's such a sweet story! I've seen you wear those bangles and am so touched you shared the story for Valentine's Day.
