I realize that it is February 13th, but I thought you'd be interested to know that Valentine's Day started a little early for me this year!
I was going about the business of completing my chores for the day when the doorbell rang. I'm a little paranoid about answering the door when I'm home alone, but I looked through the peep hole and saw someone standing there with something in his hands. He looked safe enough so I answered the door. There stood a young guy holding a beautiful flower arrangement.
"Laura Beeson?" he asked with a big smile on his face.
"Yes?"
"These are for you!"
"Oh! What a surprise! Thank you!" I took the flowers and shut the door. Wow! Flowers!
If you know my history with Valentine's Day, you won't be surprised when I tell you that I truly didn't know who the flowers were from until I opened the card. Inside the card was the sweetest sentiment from my very own husband. I know you are thinking, "well of course it was!" but sometimes I am a little slow.
Ron and I are approaching our 30th wedding anniversary this August and a total of 34 years together. I honestly have never doubted how much he loves me although I have often felt undeserving. After what I put him through during the last few months, I would say that he has definitely earned a pass when it comes to things like Valentine's. He has gone above and beyond proving how much he loves and cares for me during my recent illness and recuperation. But there was the delivery boy holding this gorgeous token of my husband's love for me in an arrangement of roses and orchids. After 34 years, he can still surprise me and make me cry (happy tears). Is it possible to love someone more than you did when you first fell in love all those years ago? Yes. I can tell you honestly that you can...I do.
And if all that weren't enough, tomorrow, on Valentine's Day, we are going out to dinner with friends! There might even be a little dancing involved. I think it's quite safe to say that the curse has been lifted!
Happy Valentine's Day!
