Got a text from her at 4 a.m. this morning, wishing me a Happy Valentine's Day! This has always been our most favorite day/holiday! While some of you may think this day is stupid, we believe it is special and to really let the love of your life know that she/he is truly and deeply loved, respected, the apple of your eye, so to speak.
This is the first time that i have not bought her roses and some other gifts. Told her i didn't want them setting on the counter and her not enjoying them. She said i was to go the the Dairy Queen and pick up our Valentine's Ice Cream Cake, which we got every year too. Told her i will when she gets home and not before.
Like i stated before, we do everything together 99.9% of the time. Every morning we kiss, hug, tell each other how much we love them and this continues on throughout the day and into the night. At bedtime we kiss and hug each other and the very last thing we say, I love you for all of eternity! We hold hands when out walking or sitting and watching TV, i open the doors for her, and say thank you when she does something for me and after every meal. Yes, it is mushy but hey, i love this woman with all my heart and she is the one who has made me a much better person.
When i talked with her last night on the phone, i was telling her about this thread and how each of you are praying for her and also said some of your comments, and we both were crying and she asked me to thank each and every one of you and your families for your caring thoughts, words, and prayers. Believe me she means this with all her heart. She is the most caring, giving, and loving person and she is so very easy to love. When we hear of someone going through a tough time or in need, she tries to find an address and sends a card and always writes something from the heart, and sometimes sends some money for them to use for something just for them, in their time of need or sorrow. Then the prayers for them and their families.
She is going to sit down and read this thread, when she gets home and feels better, as she wants it all to soak in and so you know that your words, thoughts, and prayers were read, received, and loved.
So today grab your love of your life, hug them, kiss them, and tell them how much they truly mean to you!
We take far too much for granted in our lives and sometimes we need to stop and smell the roses.
God bless each of you and your families.
John
