This is my Valentine Love Letter to you....

I have been sitting here at the keyboard for an hour, just thinking of you.  I have been wondering how to begin.. I had so much I wanted to say, so many things bottled up that I couldn't wait to just burst out with all of the love and passion that describe how much you mean to me..

Where my love, shall I begin?  Do I dare tell you what it is like for me when you are away, or how I can't possibly explain how mere minutes seem like hours as I wait for your return. Can I muster the words to describe the emptiness I feel when we must say good night, or how utterly impossible it would ever be to say.. good bye.

I can hardly remember what it was like before you came into my life. or what it would be if you were ever gone. How is it my precious one, that your smile could fill me with such warmth and love, and the soft sound of your laughter could brighten up the cloudiest day.

It isn't that I wasn't a man before I kissed you, but how much more I have become since the day you kissed me back.. I can remember with vivid clarity the first time I held you in my arms, and how helpless I felt when you cried when I had to let you go.. I will never be the same because of you.. Thank you little one for just being you..

I love you my little Valentine..

Grandpa Carlo

Nothing makes one feel so vulnerable as grandbaby love! (I think when one becomes a parent, it's so overwhelming that there isn't the time to contemplate how fleeting and risky life can be.)

Life is too short to deny ourselves unselfish love in any of its splendid possibilities. But, that said,...

I relish the selfish moments, too. My youngest grandchild is now two, so, like her older siblings, she learned long ago that "you are my special angel, sent from up above, God looked down and smiled on gramma, and sent me < name of grandchild > to love" is the song I sing when I rock her to sleep. Thankfully, this child loves to be rocked and cuddled much more than the others did, so I still occasionally get the selfish peaceful pleasure of holding her on my shoulder as she falls asleep.

Good to see you again Carlo. I missed your Good Cheer and Bright Smile. We didn't appreciate our own children until the grand kids came along. We celebrate our 48th anniversary this Sunday.

You and Leo Buscaglia have much in common. He taught me to openly express my Love for those around me and you continue to remind me...
