Related: About this forum"A Love Note" was too late for the contest. But I'd like you to see it anyway.
Last November our UPS guy brought a package. His young daughter Ava had left a message for him on the van. When he asked what all the zeros meant, she smiled, opened her arms wide and said I Love You This Much!

The first time Dad drove his clean, shiny van home Ava nearly cried. "Why did you
do that!?!" As dad patiently explained, Ava determined to write another love note.
It was serendipity he had a dirty van for our delivery that day.
Thank You!!
