Years ago I taught preschool and I especially remember one cute, happy four year old named Lee. He was the ours ofayours, mine and ours arrangement. All of his half brothers and sisters were at least three times his age and he was unanimously adored. We teachers were amused and delighted one day after naptime, when Lee got up from his cot, stretched, looked around and asked loudly, doesnt anybody want to come and kiss me? We dont need to wait for a special occasion to show affection or express appreciation. Some people, in fact, refuse to do nice things on special days because it is expected. Ifyoure one of these, maybe you should secretly mark your calendar for another day. Let me share two stories... One day, I went to visit my friend Mary and take her a treat for no reason. She wasnt home, but her mom was tending her children. The mother seemed stiff and unfriendly, but I introduced myself and gave her the goody with instructions to tell Mary that I was thinking about her. Then, on an impulse, I hugged her mother and said, please give her this to go with it. Later, when Maiy called to thank me, she asked, did you hug my mother?

Then she quietly added, My mother hasnt hugged me in probably twenty years. My parents received a letter once from a sweet young couple that went something like this: We have just lost a dear friend and we wish we had taken the opportunity to tell him how much he meant to us. We have always admired you and appreciated your friendship. Just thought youd like to know.

Lunch bags or shoe boxes, decorated with construction paper and too much glue, served as mailboxes for our Valentine treasures. These included dozens of little heart candies bearing important messages, such as: Hey Baby, You Bet and Be Mine. Stuffed into our mailboxes were several white envelopes with Valentines on the inside and our names printed in crooked letters on the outside.
