For today’s blog I have to do a page on a personal experience I’ve had. This is not my usual but is necessary for school. I’m sure you all like gifts. Even more so love. When you put them together you get Valentine’s Day. One year, when I was in second grade, was the best Valentine’s Day ever. That is what I would like to tell you about because since we’re approaching that special day it brings back memories.
The year I was in second grade I couldn’t wait for Valentines Day to come. A few days before I Had put the finishing touches on my gifts. There was a gift for my mom, a gift for my dad, and a card for my little brother. The most important part of Valentines Day to me was the presents. I thought that was why everybody loved it. As far as I was concerned, everyone got a present for Valentines Day. This was what Valentines Day meant to me. Well that was all about to change in a few days.
The night before Valentines Day, I was getting ready for bed with a smile on my face. I couldn’t wait for the next day. It was going to be more presents. Who wouldn’t be happy! As my mom tucked me into bed, I smiled and looked up.”Mom, did you get me a present?” She replied,”You’ll have to wait and see.” Little did I know what awaited me the next morning.
The next morning I woke up to see a bag next to my bed. I was so happy. I looked in and found a card and some clothes from my mom. I was happy because a present is a present. I didn’t get anything from my brother or my dad. I was really sad because I was really expecting it. Then, my dad left and it was almost time to go to school. I was devastated and began to cry on the last step of the steps leading upstairs.
All of a sudden I was filled with joy.. I saw my dad walk back into the house. He gave me a hug and I felt better. Then he made things even better by pulling out a big bag of gummy bears. I got up and gave him a big hug. Of course I then ate some before I went to school.
Overall it was a great Valentines Day. I learned a very important lesson. Valentine’s Day isn’t about the presents, its about the love.
