My Best Valentine

My Valentine never makes me feel guilty about eating too much pizza. He’s always ready for a slice.

My Valentine never puts me down for spending another day lounging on the couch. He happily lies beside me, always game for a nap.

My Valentine never turns away when I go in for a smooch or a cuddle (and I do this a lot!). He loves me as much as I love him.

My Valentine always happily greets me at the door, never holding a grudge, no matter how long I am gone. He’s just glad to see me again.

My Valentine lets me have charge of the remote control, never complaining about what movie or show I want to watch.

My Valentine eats whatever I put in front of him, happy to just have food.

My Valentine is the best listener. He knows when to say nothing and just being there is comfort enough.

My Valentine lets me soak him in tears when I need a good cry, no matter how wet he gets.

My Valentine gives kisses on demand, no matter how many kisses I demand. He knows I need it.

My Valentine’s snores wake me up at night, but I don’t nudge him. I let him snore away, because I love him, and he deserves a good night’s sleep.

Thanks for being the best Valentine ever, Phil.

Mommy loves you soooooo much.

I'm an animal lover. I volunteer at a dog shelter and love nothing more than watching neglected or abused animals get their second chance and find loving homes. I'm also an author of the books, Her Name, Loving Again, A Penny on the Tracks, Annabel and the Boy in the Window, and a short story called This Christmas. When I'm not writing, I'm usually reading. I'll read anything as long as it is well-written and has a compelling and beautiful story. You can find me on twitter @AliciaJAuthor. View all posts by Alicia Joseph
