Valentine’s Day is always hard on us guys because we never have figured out what to do. Every so often we do the right thing and all is well, but then expectations are elevated and the next Valentine’s we do something dumb, and prove our ineptitude.
I remember back in third grade when we gave cheap little cards to all the girls? I went into the day with dread - knowing the wrong girl would get the wrong idea and I would be in a fix. All through elementary school I never knew what to do with the day, so I always bought my best girl, my mom, a box of candy. (with dad’s money or course)
When I got into high school I figured out that Valentine’s was a day of opportunity. If you liked a girl, you could send her a card and see what happened - in my case it was always nothing.
It wasn’t until I went to college that I met my ultimate valentine, a Freshman beauty from the hill of eastern Oklahoma. Lana has been my sweetheart from the first time I saw her. Even though on that first date she was with another guy, and I was with another girl, I still fell in love with her and nothing has been the same since.
But the problem still exists with this special day on February 14 - I still don’t know what to do. How do I properly express my love for the sweetest wife in the world. There are no flowers gorgeous enough to compare to her beauty. There isn’t a card that has ever been written that can describe my profound love for her. There has never been a box of candy that can measure up to her sweetness. There isn’t a diamond that is rare enough to match her extraordinary personality.
I will do my best on Valentine’s Day to tell Lana how much I love her. I will give her a simple gift that expresses my esteem. But no gift can ever express the overwhelming love I have for my sweetheart. Happy Valentine’s Day Lana, I love you.

ReplyDeleteI think you just outdid yourself. Will you teach Larry to blog? He did send me roses though...and I sent him a bag of green M&M's. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't think you could have given her a better Valentine...all we really want is to know our man's heart...and that out of all the women in his life, in his heart we are the ONE that is most rare and precious to him. As you so often tell people, "Good job!"
