(Time to baby it, I know the drill) when what do you know? A big box of long stemmed pink roses arrived for me, with a very nice card from my hubby. TY honey. So I was wondering what everyone else is giving, or getting, or doing to celebrate. Our church is having a dinner tomorrow evening for others like me who have no plans. My son and I will be going to that.

Woo Hoo for Valentines Day. To top it off it is our first Valentines as husband and wife. What a way to sear our first into my brain.

Even if you arent doing anything exciting or expensive, Cristal, being together is what is important. Through thick and thin, ya know. Hope you guys get that taken care of. It must be scary for you. Thanks bb1, he is getting the hang of it I think. <wink> -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2004/02/13, 03:00 PM azred, you are right. When I wrote that yesterday I was in a state of shock and scared out of my mind. I am more collected now, and know that no matter what having my husband by my side is all that is important. Life throws us major curve balls sometimes, but if we stick together and share the pain, it wont be as bad for either of us. I want to say Happy Valentines day to all of you, and hope that even if you don't have that special someone, that you know that someone somewhere cares about you, and all you have to do is look here on FT to prove it!

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

After 19 years of marriage, I tend to agree. My wife and I just returned from an early Valentines Day getaway in the mountains. Had a wonderful time! ============ Quoting from CristalBelle: azred, you are right. When I wrote that yesterday I was in a state of shock and scared out of my mind.

azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2004/02/18, 03:21 PM Hubby even managed to get to a phone and call me on Sunday. Between the flowers and the phone call it wasnt too bad. We still agree we dont ever want to spend all these holidays apart again. I hope all of you had great weekends, spent with the ones you love. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

bardrock69 Posts: 59 Joined: 2003/04/30	2004/02/23, 08:32 AM I am glad that you liked the flowers my love. And it was so wonderful to talk with you on the phone. It is so nice to actually hear your voice. I hope that we never have to go though this again, being away from each other for this long. Only 39 more days, and I'll be home with you. If only for a couple of weeks. It will be a wonderful time, I know. :love: I love and miss you so very much.
