Sweeter than Candy

Sweeter than candy are your children.  Valentine’s Day is fun for kids, taking Valentine’s Day cards to school, passing them out, eating the little candy hearts.  I remember the day from when I was a little girl, and I remember it from a perspective as a mom.  This year I get to experienc the day as a grandmother, as I’m baking Valentine’s Day cookies with my grandkids this weekend.  However, it’s just one day.  You want the sweetness of your children to last for many, many years, and that is why I keep encouraging vaccinations, for infants through adults.  I know I want many more years to hug my family and share a heart full of love with them.  Don’t let infectious diseases like meningitis, pertussis, and HPV take a toll on your family.
