Dear Babycakes, what better way to show you my love than having it permanently in words written in print. I can watch you for a single minute and find 1,000 things that I love about you. But it’s only when you smile that I’m yours over and over again. Happy Valentine’s Day “Chunky.”

How lucky we are to have found love in the time of COVID! Thanks for being the best friends and Valentines a gal could ask for. Milk cheers to many more milestones, celebrations, and messes together. OK, G2G pretend babble so my parents think they’re the ones in control. You know the deal. Xox. P.S. I know we talked about a nap strike on the afternoon of 2/14, but in the name of Cupid, let’s go down easy.

Happy Valentine’s Day, babe! I hope this makes up for not writing you a letter on our wedding day (although I think my excuse was valid under the circumstances)! I’m ready for any adventure with you by my side. Thanks for all the laughs, the endless love and our two beautiful creations. I’ll stop the world and melt with you…

To my Valentine, in the words of Mr. Porter: It’s very clear / Our love is here to stay. / Not for a year, / But ever and a day. / In time the Rockies may crumble, / Gibraltar may tumble, / They’re only made of clay, / But our love is here to stay. Love you even more after a whole pandemic year together.

I take Metro-North to the city / To see Linda, Spanish for pretty / Though she’s just Mom to me / I do find her lovely / Which is true since I was itty-bitty / I go often to stroll & kibbitz / Tête à têtes and the best laughing fits / We drink coffee for days / Which is how I was raised / While we tell all our pieces & bits / And while in this rich life there are others / Don’t worry mom, next’s An Ode to my Brothers / I can’t fathom the worth / Appreciating since birth / I’m sold on the love between daughters & mothers.

Au Courant / We start out our days with the news / What’s the word? Ooh – a Valentines ruse / Will you know she is me? / Je t’adore, mon chéri / Watch me close / Ice ice baby blues. / The Current said “Hey — for posterity” / And, I thought, maybe some clarity / I’d jot down some lines, some “Baby Be Mines” / And come V-Day in black and white / There I’d be. / If my reading’s been drawing you in / And your coffee’s concealing a grin / Come refill my cup / While I butter you up / Be my Valentine, handsome. FIN
