ENTRY #17

CONVERSATIONS OF THE HEART


My Dearest Bella –

When you moved to town when I was five and joined our class, I was so happy to have a friend who read books too. That first Valentine's Day when we had to give everyone a card, I save the prettiest one for you. I also snuck a box of conversation heart candies to you. Emmett was so wrong; you didn't have cooties.

When I was nine, my dad sat me down to explain the giving of gifts to our women for holidays and birthdays. I quickly informed him I had it all covered with a beautiful card and the box of conversation heart candies. He said that was good and took me to the store to buy them. He showed me the flowers he was getting my mom letting me know they were her favorites, that favorites were important no matter how silly they seemed to others. That was the year Jasper thought buying Alice his favorite cake was a good idea, only to have it smashed in his face.

When I was fourteen, I asked you to Be Mine with the conversation hearts. I had to buy 15 boxes of them, so I was able to pick out that one and make one box of them with just that saying. My dad helped me eat all the others, so they didn't go to waste.

When I was sixteen, I told you that I LUV you and at the time they made the conversation hearts to order so I didn't have to buy 15 boxes. Jessica was so jealous of you because all she received was roses from Mike, which she is allergic to.

When I was twenty-one, I got down on one knee asking you to Marry Me. I had your ring peeking out of the box of conversation hearts. You, of course, said yes and it was the happiest day of my life. Even though Emmett and Jasper said it was too cliché to do that on Valentine's Day, both Rose and Alice said you lucked out and had the most romantic brother.

Now, here we are at twenty-six, sitting in my parents living room with your dad and my mom and dad, about to share our box of conversation hearts with them. As we hand out the boxes, they looked confused, but once the paper was off them, my mom screamed so loud that I think every animal in fifty miles heard her. I'm going to be a grandma and It's a Boy!

So, my love, here's to another twenty years of conversation hearts.

All my love,

Edward
