This Valentine's Day let's celebrate the greatest, sweetest and most powerful love: that of our children

Throughout the year we have various dates that commemorate or celebrate different occasions, people or values, and one of them is this day: Valentine. It is a date on which we celebrate love and friendship, two beautiful feelings that we share with the people around us.

And although we usually relate this date to the couple's love or the friendship we have with our friends, today I want to invite you to celebrate something that is also very special, and that even, is the greatest, sweet and powerful love: that of our children.

When we become mothers and fathers, we begin to experience and live a new kind of love, very different from the love we used to know before having children. It is a new, different, and certainly, very special love.

We realize that we have a greater capacity to love, to feel how our heart overflows with all that feeling that invades us to think and be with our children.

A few days ago, I was telling you that there is no more pure, tender and sincere love like the one your children have when they are young, and precisely goes hand in hand with the message I want to share on this day, in which love is the center of attention.

True, Valentine is usually a date that focuses more on celebrating the love we have as a couple, but this time, I would like you to stop for a moment to think about love between parents and children. Specifically, in theirs towards us.

And it is a love so different from everyone else, that I think it deserves to be celebrated, recognized and thanked. Many times because of the daily rush, the activities we have to do and all the outstanding ones inside the house, we may not be so aware that we have before us a unique and special love.

That is why today I want that in addition to celebrating with your partner, friends or family that precious sentimental bond that unites them, you celebrate, enjoy and honor also the beautiful love your children have for you, especially if they are still tiny.

Cultivating love with our children is something that starts from their first months of life and from which they alone give us samples of that beautiful feeling Over the years, through small gestures, words and actions.

We find his love through a kiss, a tight hug, a caress on our face, a "mommy / daddy, do we play together?", Or those little details he has with us, like taking us a flower, which for them is a great treasure and a tender way to show us how much they love us.

Sometimes I turn to see my daughter and I am amazed to see how in that small person so much unconditional love fits, full of tenderness and illusion. The first years of childhood fly by, and that is when we can feel in a more palpable way that love of the children towards mom and dad.

Therefore, let's not miss this beautiful stage in which they give us that love so big, sweet and powerful. Let's save a space or dedicate all this day to enjoy, thank and celebrate the love of our children, hugging and choking them, because time flies.
