Valentine of the Year

My Aunt Kay has an annual party at her place! It has been a long standing tradition (30+years). Each family chooses their "Valentine of the Year" and writes a tribute to that person, usually in the form of a poem. Then, we have dinner where the special person gets to eat on a "special plate" and gets served first. It's a wonderful celebration of love!
This year our little family chose...guess who...as our Valentine of the year:
I forgot to add a stanza of the poem. It goes like this:
"Our Valentine likes to pass out treats,
The kind that come from the heart.
Her treat is called the "huggie",
Showing love is what sets her apart."
Happy Valentines Day! Here's wishing you many "huggies"!
