To Jessica , my little Valentine, I was just thinking back to

the very special Valentine's Day we had last year.

Your Valentine's Day party at school and the special bag you make

to collect all the candy that was passed out in your class.

Here you are making a funny face at the Valentine's party.

I remember how you wanted to sign all the Valentine's

by yourself. You were getting so good at writing your name.

I hold these memories close as we approach

another holiday without you...

Jessica with Eeyore at Disney World -June 1997

And Love in the heart

wasn't put there to stay,

Love isn't love,

'til you give it away...

By Oscar Hammerstein III

Sonnet XVIII

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;

Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

by William Shakespeare

What LOVE is strong enough to fuse two hearts as one,

shall transend the very depth of death and shall forever burn .

And it shall link the mortal life with that of immortality,

Until both are joined again,

LOVE for all eternity...

Jessica with Kirsten, Nana and Pop Pop -"May 96"

To my Darling Jessica,

you will always be my Valentine...
