Dear Julie,
The past 47 years have been interesting, pleasurable, and rewarding. We have two wonderful daughters, and have, like most couples, been through a lot together. Most of it was your fault.
Love,
Al

To my Gramma (Betty Ashe):
Happy Valentine’s Day, Gramma! You are my Valentine because you do a lot of nice things for me, like bring me to my friend’s house to play, cook my favorite foods (like asparagus!), play games with me, help me do my homework, paint pumpkins for Halloween, and buy me awesome presents!
I love you, Gramma. I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day.
Love, Your Annabel Elizabeth
P.S. I love you sooooo much.

Paige,
Roses are red, except when they’re not:
It’s important to know what it is that you’ve got.
The moon grows rotund as the maples make sap,
While our bleary-eyed boys download iTunes and apps.
And deep into night our two reckless cats chase
Though we try, try in vain, just to quiet our space.
But hush. We’re here and it’s now. I would not change a thing.
Let’s absorb all the sweetness and comfort the stings.
In the balance, we’re blessed. All luck and no curse.
With all love and all thanks, here’s your Valentine’s verse.
Sarah Connolly, Still River Road
To my Valentine…you know who you are.
Alas, we have come so far.
And with this being a milestone year…I say good cheer!
Let’s celebrate each day under the sun by vowing to have much more fun.
