When you asked mommy to be your valentine, I didn’t think twice.
I had seen the pain in your eyes for some time, son. Seeking desperately, courageously, a love of your very own, and never quite finding it. How badly I’ve wanted to tell you that it gets better, that the woman of your dreams is out there waiting for your discovery.
But until then, mommy is here for you. Nobody on this Earth can provide a love as fierce as mine, and this Valentines, I’m going to shower you in it. You really didn’t have to buy me a gift, but I feel my heart melting at the thought. As I close my eyes and hold my palm open, I know that I am the single luckiest woman in the world to have a son like you.
