Happy Day!!!!
Usually this is just another day for me. I don't buy into the whole day Hallmark profits from. Today is different....
I'm going to lunch with a friend today.
Her husband has been deployed since last June.
She deserves a Valentine for all she does holding the fort with 2 children. I respect her a lot for being tough enough to do it all. I'm going to go get her a little something to say Happy V Day!
She rocks!
We thank our servicemen but also need to thank their wives and families for holding life together back home as well.
Happy V Day!
I don't like to buy into the commercialism either. Sounds like that friend deserves a nice gift today. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel good to make her feel good. Her hubby sent flowers so he held up his end too!
DeleteTell your friend I'm there with you both in spirit. Staying "back home" while a spouse is deployed is a position that never, ever gets enough credit. Hard, hard, hard for so many different reasons. Wish your special friend (and you, too, for spending special time with her) Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteShe was so happy. I took her a tiny box of chocolate and a card too. Just something silly but she liked them.
