I got a red envelope in the mail today.
Not that unusual, right? It is Valentine's day, after all, and millions of red envelopes arrived in mailboxes today.
I was surprised to recognize the handwriting. That almost-unrecognizable-handwriting.
I don't think he's ever sent me a Valentine before. Oh, over the years, I'm sure he's signed them. But, I do not believe he has ever gone to the store, purchased a Valentine for me, addressed the red envelope and put it in the mail.
He did that this year.
He lost his Valentine two and a half months ago. It's probably not an easy holiday for him. Yet, he took the time to send me a red envelope because he wanted me to know how much he loved me. It means more, to both of us, than it ever has before.
"Much Love to my #1 Daughter - YLF" (his signature: YLF=Your Loving Father)
It made my day.
It also made me cry.
