If this tender story of love and romance doesn’t bring tears to your eyes, I don’t know what will.
“My sweet husband, John, and I were married for 46 years. Each Valentine’s Day, he’d send me the most beautiful flowers containing a note with five simple words, ‘My love for you grows.’ Four children, 46 bouquets and a lifetime of love were his legacy to me when he passed away two years ago.
“On my first Valentine’s Day alone, 10 months after I lost him, I was shocked to receive a gorgeous bouquet addressed to me… from John. Angry and heartbroken, I called the florist to say there had been a mistake. The florist replied, ‘No ma’am, it’s not a mistake. Before he passed away, your husband prepaid for many years and asked us to guarantee that you’d continue getting bouquets every Valentine’s Day.’ With my heart in my throat, I hung up the phone and read the attached card. It said, ‘My love for you is eternal.’“
What an amazing story of eternal love. This Valentine’s Day, why not start your flower traditions? Your local florist would be happy to take care of you, this year and for the many more to come.

Begin Valentine’s Day’s Romance Weekend by sending flowers to your hunny’s office on the Friday before. She will spend the whole day looking at those beautiful blooms and thinking of you. Not only will she not be expecting it, it kicks off a fabulous romantic weekend just for the two of you.
After work on Friday, take her out to her favorite restaurant, or even the place where you spent your first date. Buy her jewelry in her favorite style. (That means similar to her other jewelry, guys!) Plan a weekend get away for Saturday, such as a bed and breakfast or a romantic cabin in the woods. Spend your time enjoying what life has to offer. If weather permits, go for a hike or walk together, but if it’s too cold, don’t hesitate to stay indoors. Have you favorite movies or board games ready. Brew up some hot cocoa and melt some chocolate to dip fruit.
You are the one who knows your relationship best. Plan to do things you both really enjoy, but may not normally have time for. It’s all about being with each other, and enjoying your time together. [Read more…]
