THE GRACE OF BALLET

TIMELESS VALENTINE

 ~ Cupid Delivery ~

Valentine’s Day can be a bookmark of thorns, to all the lonely hearts at bay. I am single and chose not to let the number

fourteen printed on a Currier and Ives Calendar to vex my day. And to all those who remember this famous American print making firm, you are still young at heart «smile». Boy did I just reveal my age, whew! Cupid made a special delivery this year. Now hold on, I know what you’re thinking. Nana received a box of delicious Gourmet Chocolates, or a FTD florist delivery of 1 dozen of Red Roses, or a polished gem timelessly crafted by Tiffany’s. What was delivered to me, was more precious than earthly trinkets. This most wonderful gift I was blessed to receive, with all assurance I would not trade it, for any earthen vessel. And genuinely I can not label my Valentine’s Day Gift as an it, because she is the most beautiful and precious gift given unto me. A dreamy radiate rose from heaven was graciously signed, sealed, and delivered at 1:21 pm on Valentine’s Day. Raiya London my child, so pure and wonderfully made by the Creator. You ballet danced out of Heaven into your royal destiny on this extraordinary day. I would not trade you for a box of chocolates, or for a dozen of red roses, nor for a string of luxury pearls. You are the greatest Valentine Gift Ever. You are a facsimile of God’s genuine love and marvelous grace. And oh, by the way I love your name, so gloriously fitting – Raiya means Heaven! So my heart is not lonely on this Valentine’s Day. This grandmother’s heart is filled to the brim with joy and theatrical childlike laughter!
