It's only fitting that Colin was born on
Valentine's Day
a day all about love.
aka
Colintine's Day
The day Colin was born
he had my heart...
hook, line and sinker.
Before he was born tho,
I wasn’t particularly sweet on Valentine’s Day...
(maybe savory)
because it comes with a runnnnn on
reservations.
Unless you’ve made dinner reservations early
you are late to the party of 2.
You and your valentine are left looking at each other like…
'what up Val?'
But sometimes you get lucky, and land on your sweet feet
like I remember one Valentine’s Day back in the day.
(Colinboy was away at college so I was free from making
meatloaf for his usual requested birthday dinner.)
PaulA had forgotten to make dinner reservations so was SOL
(sorry out of luck)
(of course, not my fault)
but after some scrambling…
PaulA found a reservation online at a Chinese Restaurant
we had never heard of.
He tried convincing me that this was a great idea…
and that the restaurant was gonna be the
DimSumDiggiity.
He had read they had a large tropical fish tank and a grand piano…
which sounded summa cheesy to me.
I wasn’t biting at first…but he is my Valentine for life…
so off we egg rolled.
And, of course, PaulA was right!
I ordered their signature scorpion bowl the size of my head…
and the rest was Valentine’s history.
The experience left us Wonton for more,
so we went back the following year for Valentines’s Day.
So Colin…
may you always pull a Peking Roasted Duck out of your hat…
and
land on your sweet and sour feet like your Dad.
Anywhoooo….
On this day filled with hearts and love,
PaulA and I remember and celebrate our cute Valentine …
💗
He’s still cute,
but our baby
has a beard now.
Stuck in the middle
between Big C and Sweet Wish…
Colin is sooo loved by us all.
He's in our hearts
this Colintine's day and beyond.
This guy is the best son
Happy Birthday Colin
We love you
and
your BIG ideas,
your BIG ambition,
BUT, most of all
your
BIG HEART.
💖
