Let’s be honest…
Not everyone was thrilled to see Valentine’s Day on the calendar. Those same folks may have been glad to see it come and go.
Being single, a loss, or something of that nature can make it a painful day. I do understand that.
Yet for those who have the ability to embrace it, it is and always will be a popular day. Getting cards from grandchildren was fun. And who is going to turn down candy and chocolate. (Not most people. And if they did it was only to wait for the half price sale on the 15th.)
I noticed something kid of cool while I pulled together articles. First, I am always excited to see what kids are up to and what they are doing. They tend to be positive, because the world has not got to them. Some examples would be the young boy who gives out coats to the homeless or the boy who feeds the homeless. Or the 12-year-old who teaches children with cancer how to fish. {{more}}Kids are the best.
I wanted to share a few of the Valentine stories I found related to children and their kindness. (And I know about the men who delivered to widows and military families they aren’t alone.)
The first is the story of an anonymous student who surprised the school with over 1,500 Valentine’s cards. As the 1,504 students shuffled into school on the morning of February 14, they were greeted by a rainbow of beautiful origami hearts taped to their lockers. Each brightly colored work of art was adorned with a simple and sentimental sentence—”you are loved”—and purposely showed no indication of the gift giver’s identity.
How about Casey, who decided to give a flower to every woman and girl in his town?
