Show and Tell of Love

Valentine's Day... That can be a good or bad word. In a Singles Ward it's also known as Singles Awareness Day. You all know how much I love bitter people so here's a different view of this dreaded day.
One Valentine's day a little boy was trying to figure out the meaning of this obviously special day. Mommy got roses and chocolates. Daddy got a card and lots of kisses. He gave Valentines to all of the kids in his class, even his teacher. Even his older brother gave his girlfriend roses. So he sat down and thought. And thought. And thought. Finally his mom noticed her little boy looking so troubled and asked what was wrong. The little boy replied "Mommy, I figured out why this day is so special. You get to show and tell your love for everyone. I showed the kids in my class and my teacher I loved them. I showed you and daddy that I love you. You and daddy gave eachother presents to show your love. Billy gave Susie roses to show his love. So this is a day to show and tell EVERYONE how much you love them." The mom replied with a smile "Yes, this is a day of show and tell. A show and tell of love."
So everyone out there, please show and tell your love for everyone. Not just that special someone, but your parents, siblings, friends, and others that you truly love them. This is not a day to think of who DOESN'T love you, but who DOES love you.
