Valentine’s Day ~ by Gabby


It’s here, February 14th has arrived! It does that every single year and Valentine’s Day is here once again. How is everyone celebrating? Any plans or thoughts on the day? It is a day to celebrate love, so of course the Twinnie is on board with this one. Autumn is just glowing everyday with the love and she doesn’t need a special day. How do I feel on this day? As some of you kind readers already know…My husband Dave is in Heaven. Well, I am of course missing him as always but I do celebrate the day. Dave wouldn’t want me to spend the day being sad. I had a good many Valentine’s Days that are very cherished memories we spent together.

I won’t be sad, after all I do have two very special Valentines! Who are they? My two youngest and very special nephews, they make sure to give me a valentine and a special drawing and sometimes other little surprises. How sweet is that I ask? 🙂

When Autumn and I were young, but old enough to understand Valentines Day we learned how it was done! Our Dad gave us Valentine cards along with a little heart-shaped box filled with chocolates or some other little treat, right along with our Mom. 🙂 That is such a treasured memory, it started with Dad giving us twinnies the special Valentine gifts. It continued with each new sister that came along, too. Six sisters and Mom, Dad was handing out lots of special Valentines through the years!

Well, didn’t we all get a head start on what to expect from the boyfriends and husbands to come? Yes, we sure did and if they were slackers woe on to them! The either got a good talking to or…Yes, Autumn once dumped a boyfriend over the Valentine’s Day neglect. That Twinnie sure didn’t fool around…Thankfully she won’t have to worry this year with such things. Her darling man is quite the romantic and also a very nice guy, he asked me for hints over a month ago concerning special gift choices for her. 🙂 I know, Wow he is a keeper for the Twinnie! In case he didn’t give her the special gift, I just better keep his gift choice to myself. Maybe she will share with us though! 🙂

Well, how about you kind readers? Anyone care to share their plans or perhaps some thoughts? Sharing is always fun I say! Aso we twinnies are wishing all of you a very special and Happy Valentine’s Day!! 🙂 🙂

    • Thank you from both Autumn and me…You and your family also have a Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙂 The little nephews are such a blessing, they are a special joy. God Bless You, too! 🙂

  3. How nice to enjoy the gifts from your two special nephews. Isn’t it great when we can acknowledge the “good” in our lives. Take care and thanks for your writing. Very heartfelt, too. Sorry you lost such a wonderful man and I am glad you cherish your dear memories spent with him, too. And I liked what you said about him not wanting you to be sad today. I am glad you will be enjoying the day. I too have good memories of Valentine’s Day, too. I will just spend the day thinking of the loved persons in my life since I am not currently in a relationship with a man at the moment. ( I wrote a poem about Valentines Day and will try to find it.) Take care. Sincerely, Connie

    • Those two special little nephews really are quite a blessing to me Connie. I agree it is so nice to acknowledge the good in our lives, I always try to and I know you do as well. Thanks for your kind words about my writing and also about Dave. I am happy I have such wonderful memories of our years together, he would never want me sad today. I am happy you, too have good memories of Valentine’s Day and will think of those loved ones in your life. I hope you find the poem, I look forward to reading it! Take care Connie! 🙂
