Why the stamp was issued: For use on messages mailing to friends and loved ones.
About the stamp design: Pictures graphic illustrations of flowers inspired by European folk art. Shows twisting vines, small flowers, and abstract heart shapes. The word “Love” is nestled among the flowers and vines. The stamp has a coral pink background. The original artwork was created by Bailey Sullivan.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held in Romeo, Michigan. On Valentine’s Day each year, Romeo and Juliette, Georgia offer special dual postmarks as a nod to Shakespeare’s famous play, Romeo and Juliet.
About the Love Series: Based on the popularity of Christmas stamps, the USPS issued its first Love stamp in 1973. It wasn’t intended to be the start of a series, and, in fact, it wasn’t until 1982 that another Love stamp was issued. Love-themed stamps were issued sporadically over the next few years. The USPS stated that they weren’t intended just for Valentine’s Day mail, but also for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. In 1987, the USPS officially declared it a series, and new Love stamps have been issued nearly every year since. Love stamps are on sale longer than most commemorative stamps and are usually printed in greater quantities. They have sometimes been known to go back to press for additional printings if demand is sufficient.
History the stamp represents: A parent’s love is unconditional, but a grandparent’s love can be even more special. Since grandparents tend to be a little more easygoing than parents, that sometimes translates to children feeling more at ease to be themselves. If there’s something mom and dad won’t let them do, there’s a good chance grandma and grandpa might just say yes!
Aside from the occasional spoiling of their grandchildren, grandparents often take them on fun adventures or tell them exciting stories about the past. And grandparents enjoy all of this just as much as their grandchildren do. All that leads to many happy memories both parties can hold onto for years to come.
When grandchildren get older, their relationship with their grandparents changes. There might not be as many surprises and fun trips, but the love and support continue to grow. Grandparents are a great source of advice and comfort when their grandchildren are having a hard time or have had an argument with their parents. Grandparents are always ready with a hug and an understanding ear.
We never know how long we’ll have our grandparents for. But one thing is for certain, even after they’re gone, our memories and the love we received from our grandparents will never be forgotten.
