It's just a day, I know that- but it's a good excuse. Why not tout your love - commercial as it may be. I always loved getting roses. He gave me roses.
I've been writing this cyber-rag for over a couple of years now - imagine. The time has flown...my. I was looking over the past couple of Valentine's days and I realize that I didn't even spend the last one we had together. I was in California with my oldest making out with the sun. Now that's a kiss to bask in. It was never the big things...never has been with me. Did I say he gave me roses?
Today I was a little sick....a little tired. I just wanted to stay in bed, but then I've fought that all along - no sense in pulling the covers over now. Besides Scout won't stand for it - literally. So it was to the beach blustery and wet - chilled to the bone kind of wet. A dear friend met me there and as they do, she brought me out of myself. When you care about others that's how it's done. Her German Shepherd ran with Scout - chased I should say. Scout loved it. Ran like she never had a ACL scare - thank the Lord for that. We all had a lovely, revived, exhilarating romp - odd little valentines.
I returned home to my walls, sighed my sighs and coached myself through my day. Twice Scout barked the bark of home invasion and by the time I made it to the door I found to my delight a valentine - flowers, balloon, candy. My pretend grandchildren thought of me...and my sister - I love you guys, thank you so much for loving me. I love you right back. Oh....and my children - they have valentines....real ones and I am so happy for that. I believe in love and what ever reminds us of how special it is to be loved on any and every level - well isn't that what life is all about? I had a love that most people never experience and I'm so grateful for that. Yes, I miss it...miss him, but I've known how that feels - lived it for a very long time. That will last me forever. Happy Valentine's Day Everyone. I hope you told someone that you love them, if not - how about tomorrow? ...and the next day. One more thing - my children? They gave me roses.
Si e´! Now Patrice, do you speak Italian or just good with the dictionary...cause I'm slow.
