There have been many hugs that I had hoped to personally give you.

There would have been no judgmental significant conclusion - that I was there from you.

I certainly appreciated and understand what you have often illustrated.

In accordance with his mindset and unbelievable profession, that is not totally 'of' any part of his day to day work ethic.

I will not allow ``that`` also, creating how I live and give any account, being that of any state conditions- as an abstract, owning stress in our home.

My Valentine's gift to you is what I fully protect as sincere love, as a woman of resilient magnitude, thought provoking solutions, a gentle heart, a woman of great fortitude working and rearing her children.

In the end, you will know this as a being a Godly mother with an on going persistence of valuable learning gifts that have been given in a strong straight forwardly manner, to your daughters.

You stay consistent, having beautiful mentally healthy morals that will live on for years, as your legacy.

"Please never forget that".

You never know - I got a valentine and candy from my housekeeper. And a St Joseph statue to bury in the yard to help sell the house.

DH and I have never made a big deal out of valentines day....back in the early days he would send flowers but I never expected anything.

Today he gave me 2 cards, one from him and the other from the dog!

Thank you for saying those lovely things, NAES. I will agree that my priorities are my children and that never, ever changes. They are in their mid-lives and I am 80 and still an "earth mother," which they lovingly laugh about. Can't help it . . . none of us can change who we are. I am consistent in that way. No one in my family ever doubts what my meanings or actions are. That is not always popular, but they are respected.

As physically limited as I am, I remain the matriarch whether I like it or not, or several others don't like it. I don't push it . . . it just comes to me.

Thank you again, NAES.

I am happily married, but Valentine’s Day is no big deal here. We don’t celebrate it.

i did buy the grandkids a Valentine Pez dispenser with some candy. They collect them.

i got a kiss this morning first thing as always and will get one tonight last thing before I go to bed. I could get one after dinner too. That is the best gift in the world from anyone.

Material things are not important to me, especially when retailers are behind the gift giving day.

Have a happy day today and everyday.

I'm so sorry this is your life! It makes me feel saddened to read your words as you expressed your pain from his words. And maddened, too! How could he be so heartless? I know this is just a written forum, but im stretching my arms wide open for a hug for you. I meant what I said in my original post that we are all special, beautiful and loved. You are, too! No matter what your husband or anyone else may say. May you find some joy today, and I will pray for you. Happy Valentine's day, you deserve hearts, flowers, chocolate and so much more. 💐❤🍫

To all of us who didn't get chocolate today...we are the lucky ones.Chocolate ( not denying that it isn't delicious)has a lot of sugar and empty calories we don't need anyhow.I got a really nice text from my son wishing me a happy Valentine's Day.That was sweet.

Happy Valentine's Day to all my wonderful friends here and you are all special.I would miss you if I didn't look in here every day.
