~Valentines~
A gift, a symbol of love.
I received many today.
Gloria did, too.
In the words of John Lennon and Paul McCartney,
“All You Need is Love.”

How lovely that the children send cards to Gloria. She continues to inspire them in so many ways.
Best wishes, Pete.
She really is an inspiration, Pete. It was endearing to see her get valentines.
How lovely, Jennie! And well deserved! Of course, they love you!
It always fills my heart! 🥰
That’s beautiful… and especially so for Gloria 🙂
It is a precious gift. Gloria smiled. 😍
I should think so too 🙂

When children are exposed to love when they are very young it becomes a part of their life.
Well said and very true, Pam.

Giving valentines out was one of the sweet traditions at school. It is a chance to include everybody and feel the spirit of friendship and community. I’m glad Gloria got her share too.
It is win-win for children. They get the pleasure of giving and receiving. Gloria was all smiles. 😍
That’s beautiful, Jennie. Valentines from children are very special.
They are, Norah! Straight from the heart. ❤️
Yep. They tell it how it is.
🥰
👍👍👍👍
Happy Valentine’s Day, Jennie. What a cute post. And naturally Gloria got some love too. 🙂
Thank you, Diana. Gloria was thrilled to get valentines, too. ❤️
This really is a lovely Valentine’s day post, Jennie. I hope you are not being to badly impacted by the adverse weather.
Thank you Robbie. Our weather has been snowy and some ice, but not the awful ice storms that stretched from Texas to the northeast. I hope you are well and enjoying your warm weather.
Hi Jennie, our weather has been cooler than usual with lots of rain. I think I am the only person in South Africa who prefers these conditions. I am glad your weather is not to bad.
I can understand why you like that better. Best to you, Robbie.
