Hmm... best valentines memory.....

My parents divorced in 1978, so this was before that.

My Dad come home from work one Valentines with a heart shaped box of see's chocolates for my mom.
I remember it was pink and white gingham, with a pink rose.
I was envious.

Right outside my bedroom door was a linen closet with a shelf in the middle.
When I went to my room later to go to bed, not pouting, just going to bed, on that shelf was a White stuffed poodle with a red bow over her right ear...
and a red velvet box of chocolates.

He told me that he stopped on the freeway because he saw the stuffed dog, and grabbed it for me.
I have no idea to this day if that was fact or fiction, but I remember it!
