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 powder blue 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: When it comes to love, few people have as great an impact on us as our parents. For some, that means our biological parents, while for others it might mean step-parents, adoptive parents, or even just people in our lives we see as parental figures. The type of love they provide is unlike any other. It is, arguable, the most important type of love we receive.
Both parents’ love is important, but there’s a big difference between a mother’s love and a father’s love. A mother’s love makes us feel safe, warm, and supported no matter what. A father’s love makes us feel protected, settled, and accepted for who we are. There’s some overlap between the two, but the subtle differences are important in defining a unique relationship with each parent.
Having a good source of parental love in our lives has been scientifically proven to lead to better mental health and better relationships with other people. Parents are people we can share our happiest moments with and our deepest sorrows. They know how to make us laugh and how to encourage us when the going gets tough. And, as their children (biological or not), the best way of thanking them for their love is by giving it right back to them. After all, the love of a child for their parent is just as meaningful.
