You know how every kid brings valentines to school for each of their classmates? We have a huge bin with boxes and boxes of store-bought valentines with popular TV show themes or cute animals for our kids to choose from. (I bought them on clearance after Valentine's Day a few years ago.) They can usually fill them out in half an hour since all they write is their name and a classmate's name on each one. If we go all out we might make a homemade valentine but still they just write two names on each one. (I have thought about doing this but I don't believe I've ever actually
done it.) Well, this year Mackenzie received this valentine from a girl in her class. I don't know this girl or her family situation. Maybe they couldn't afford store-bought or fancy homemade valentines. Or maybe her family just forgot it was Valentine's Day and this is all she could do. But I will say that this was Mackenzie's all time favorite valentine that she has ever received. Because Sandra took the time to write a genuine compliment to Mackenzie, it meant more to her than any store-bought valentine. It made her feel so good. It just goes to show what really matters in a valentine.
