A coworker recently sent me a story about the classic Peanuts books, “Love is” and “Happiness is.” These are some of my favorite books and I own almost all of them. But the best part about this story? When the author found his used copy of “Love is Walking Hand in Hand” from 1965, there was an inscription written inside from the original owner. It said:
“Love is buying someone a present with your own money.”
My Sweetheart,
Just a little ‘present’ to you, who taught me the meaning of the word this little book is about – Love. I shall always love you more than yesterday but – less than tomorrow.
