Re: Do you have a Valentine story to share?

My sweet Daddy was far from a romantic man, but he came home from work every Valentines Day with a heart shaped box of candy for my mom, and small boxes of candy for us kids.   I love having this memory of my Dad.

My first husband died on Valentines day 1979. When my second husband and I were deciding on a wedding date he mentioned Valentines Day and I said "oh no , that's the day Peter died" so he said OK it's settled then - we get married on Valentines Day to take the stink off it. So valentines is a kinda bittersweet day for me.I think sadly of the man who was the love of my life but passed way too soon and I enjoy an anniversary with my hubby of 35 years. Every year I get flowers signed with love from both of us Pete and ______. So how sweet & understanding is that?


That's too much to handle but if you're okay with it that's all that matters.  More power to you.

Re: Do you have a Valentine story to share?

I think I may have gotten engaged on Valentine's Day but I'm not sure.  I just asked my husband and he didn't remember either.  So much for romance 29 years later lol

I think my husband is mature enough to not be jealous of a man who died 39 years ago.

@151949that's not what I meant at all.  I would not appreciate a new husband telling me that it was okay to get married on the date of the death of my 1st husband nor would I appreciate the new husand including the name of the 1st on a holiday card. It should have been left up to you not him when you got married since you suffered quite an emotional loss.  That's how I would have reacted 151949.

Well  it's a good thing he married me and not you then. I know he respects my memories & understands my feelings, and he is secure in his place in my life over the past 35 years.

Yes, you're right because I don't like controlling men and to me he was being insensitive to YOU. @151949
