Travel Mug

As Valentine's Day is creeping closer more and more memories about the holiday keep coming to mind. I'll be posting different blog posts about these stores later. Got to keep some of the other good ones for another day. Today I am going to tell you the story about my first travel mug.

When I was younger my family didn't really celebrate Valentine's Day. We still don't really celebrate it. My sister and I thought about it as a glorified candy and stuff animal festival. We only celebrated Valentine's Day in the morning.

When we would wake up and go to the dining room table there would a plush and a heart-shaped box of chocolate. That was all we would do. Now when my sisters and I were in our teens our family ran into some money trouble. I'm not going to go into the details, because it was a long time ago and I don't remember.

My mom told us that we were not going to get anything for Valentine's Day that year. My sisters and I were alright with it. When we got up in the morning on Valentine's Day I was surprised to see at our places at the table was something. Sitting at our places where coffee travel mugs.

I ask Mom about them. She smiled and said that our dad had gotten them for use. I picked up the mug and noticed that it was heavy. I unscrewed the mug and looked inside. Inside of the mug was chocolate. As much chocolate that a small travel mug could hold.

It was a lovely surprise. When I was a teenager I almost always questioned if my dad loved me. That was one day that I didn't. You can be sure that my dad was given lots of hugs and kisses when he got home.

To this day I still have that travel mug. And when I have to wake up super early in the morning it is the first mug I reach for.

So my question for y'all is simple. What was your favorite Valentine's Day gift?
