TELL US ABOUT YOUR VALENTINE

Valentine's Day is a time for recognizing those we care about and letting those we love know how we feel about them. That love doesn't have to be romantic. It can be a special feeling we have for a teacher, coach, parent, brother, other relative or friend.

We want you to write a paragraph or two telling about someone special in your life and what he or she means to you. We want to know what makes them dear to you.

Your response should be limited to 100 words, but it can be shorter. Responses will not be returned. We will print some of your work in the Feb. 12 edition of NewsFun.

Send your response to NewsFun Valentine, The Roanoke Times, P.O. Box 2491, Roanoke, Va. 24010-2491. We must receive your work by midnight, Feb. 2.

LENGTH: Short :   24 lines
