Be mine. To have and to hold. To love and to cherish.
Be mine. Six little letters that speak a books’ worth of life and love.
I mean, we were only breaths away from this Valentine’s Day being a graveside visit. Instead, I got to throw down six dollars (SIX!) on a thin piece of cardboard that captures my heart in six letters.
BE. Because it’s not a given – it is a gift.
And MINE. Holy wow, that word. Also not a given. Also a gift, one we get to choose every single day – to have a “mine”, and to be one.
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends. May you celebrate both the BE-ing and the MINE-ing in your world today.
