BE INSPRED, FEBRUARY 2014
Valentine’s Day
for a Single Parent
Love is happiness. It has many colors. Sometimes,
it blinds us and drives us to make choices we never
thought we would. It was not you who always makes
your choices, but the feelings associated with loving
someone else. This Valentine season, maybe you have
had enough from years past, or now you are looking
forward to a different situation. You may have chosen to
be single, or unexpected breakups caused you to be single. Just remember that
love never loses its colors, charms, or beauties when there are children involved,
and here’s some lemonade ideas for what can otherwise be a bitter situation.
Make the Day
for Your Children
Being a single parent takes some time,
devotion, and mental support to get
stronger to celebrate this day. You can do
it, because you are not alone as a single
parent. Make this Valentine’s Day more
special by celebrating it with you lovely
children. Organize everything for them.
Let them feel how much you love them
and how much you value them. Your
every step and thought in this day will be
for them. Make them happy as you would
do for your spouse or partner.
Bring Surprising Gifts
On this very day, why wouldn’t you want
to see your kids’ smiling faces? Some
thoughtful things can make them feel
happy and cheerful. You must know
what types of things make them happy
and bring a smile to their faces. You can
buy some beautiful gifts ahead of time
and hide put them out of site until you’re
ready. Unhide the gifts when it is time for
your celebration. Handover their gifts and
watch their anticipation as they unwrap
their gift. They will be surprised to receive
such an amazing gift from you.
