Valentine's Present

We have a lot of family, including Daddy, that is far away this Valentine's Day. I took a craft idea I saw in a magazine and traced Gabbi's hands. I cut them out, wrote her name and age on one and "I love you THIS MUCH" on the other. Then I measured her arm length and cut a string that long, taping one handprint on each end. In an envelope, I sent a pic of Gab and on a card I wrote this little phrase for a sweet and personal Valentine:

Since I cannot touch your face
mommy took my hands to trace.
I send to you with lots of love
a true-to-size Valentine’s hug.
