When I was 12 years old my dad came in the house on Valentine’s Day and handed me and my mom, each, a beautifully wrapped box. They were about the same size and both wrapped identically. He stared at them both for a long time and then - with a curious look in his eye - handed one to my mom and one to me.
Oh, how I needed this Melissa! Thank you! I know He loves me but sometimes when you’ve been sick & hurting for so long, it’s difficult to see. I have rheumatoid arthritis & fibromyalgia & I just got over Covid for the second time. And when I get sick, it’s a different kind of sick. I’m not trying to downplay anyone else’s illnesses but man!!! It sucks! So, thank you for this reminder today that I have a Good Good Father! ❤️
OH MELISSA...YA GOT ME IN THE FEELS!!! MAY BLESSINGS CONTINUE TO FALL UPON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. REMI..KEEP SENDING THOSE STRAWBERRIES TO YOURSELF!! YOU DESERVE THEM AND YOU KNOW IT. YOU YOUNG LADY, ARE LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF SO MANY OTHER YOUNG WOMEN AND OLDER WOMEN THAT DON'T THINK THEY ARE WORTH IT...DON'T LET ANYTHING EVER GET IN YOUR WAY!! TOOT YOUR OWN HORN GIRL..CAUSE JUST LIKE YOUR MOMMA SAID, HE KNOWS, HE SEES, HE IS THE ONE THAT MATTERS!!! LOVE AND HUGS TO ALL!!
I love this post! This couldn't be more true! Happy Valentine's to you and your family. Oh and tell Remi, keep treating herself to some yummy goodies any day of the year!!
Melissa, you have no idea how precious this is and how I needed to hear it. My Mom and Dad have been gone for 3 and 2 years now. As an only child, my dad spoiled me on this day just as he did my mom. I would come home from work and he and my mom would have left pink roses, candy, and a piece of jewelry for me. I bought myself a box of candy the other day and I’m okay with that. I remember one year he bought a patio rose bush (pink, of course) and it lives for almost 10 years. I may have to go buy me one today. Just because I will always be their Valentine. ❤️
I didn’t know that I needed to see this today but I did. I no longer have my valentine with me but right now I’m feeling how grateful I am for the memories both past and to come. Thank you Melissa
Love this. We all need to be reminded of the one who loves us unconditionally and the most. I also needed to be remined - it's okay to go back to bed some days!
Melissa thank you for sharing your beautiful story! I am getting ready to call my amazing Dad just to tell him how much I Love him! He is 94 and is suffering from Altzheimers but he always remembers who I am and I feel truly blessed for that! Thank you for your lovely reminder! Hope you and your Beautiful Family have a Happy Valentines Day❣️

Laura that's a great idea because whenever you walk past it or see it you will instantly smile and think of them! Happy Valentine's Day❣️
