Memento for my Valentine

February 13, 2010

It has been years and years when our pre-school teacher taught us about the occasion on the 14th of February. We were entwined with it as the day for lovers to celebrate a day with each other. As years passed again, we were left with the idea that it was not only the day for lovers as in teen lovers but also a day when we spend time with all of those that we love like our parents and our friends. Later on, we learned in our history class that it was the day given for the god of love of the ancient Greeks. Still, that day, Valentine’s Day was nothing of importance for me because I really haven’t experience anything different when it’s Feb. 14. It’s just like a simple day which quickly passes by with nothing special happening.

But this year was different. Like in the novel, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time”, it was like I saw five red cars in a row because I had a Super Good Day! And as Christopher Boone describes it, “something good will surely happen and not just anything but also something special”. And surely, something special really happened and I really had so much fun. And it felt to be one of my best days. To put it up shortly, it was because of the “pillow”.

That pillow would be with me at times that I need something comforting like a friend who would always be there and never leave you at all times like our dear Father, God.
