Just as my mom did for my brother and I, we are doing for Charlotte. Last night St. Valentine left a gift for Charlotte on the door step. When we got the door open and she vast her eyes on the gifts, she was all "oohs and aahs" . She then stepped out on to the porch to get a better look at what was left for her. She started looking around. Down the driveway, out into the neighborhood, and then at her gifts again. She then stepped onto the railing and shouted for all the hear " Thank you Guys" to whom ever left her a gift. Soon after she gathered her gift and we came back inside.
Oh how I love the innocence of a child, and oh how I love Charlotte. She was not prompted to say thank you, nor was she prompted to say anything. She out of the goodness of her heart said "Thank you" , even with no one standing there.
