We missed Valentines !!!!
Literally. It was not that I forgot or was out of town or out of my mind. My daughter & I were out with the flu. The day before Valentines we went to a Valentines Day Party.
My daughter was so excited to exchange Valentines with her friends and show off her sweet Valentine Box she made. I remember back in elementary school when we used decorated shoe boxes for our Valentine cards? That's just what we did. She picked all her yummy Valentine papers and lace, added some stickers... and there you have it... a lovely vintage style box to receive all her Valentine treats.
That night we dropped off our son at Church to go on his first Youth Group Winter Retreat(To The Sequoia's)
Later my daughter ended up with a fever, cough etc... blah, blah, blah. Unfortunately her cold from a week ago worsened. The next morning ( Valentines Day ) We were both in bed with the flu ( laryngitis)... fevers...cough..oh soooo bad.
My dearest Mr. Darling surprised us in bed with roses and scrumptious raspberry danishes. Later he served us chicken soup.
What a sweetheart!!!
Mr. Darling also read to us from the Bible reading from Psalms. We were literally in bed from Friday night until this Monday night. I was unable to fully enjoy Valentines with my hubby the way one usually does. But, oh so thankful for the love he has for us. I love that man. He tended to us sickies for four days. Now hopefully he won't get sick.
I also wanted to wish you a belated Happy Valentines.
I hope that you spent yours with those you love.
I also wanted to share:
We LOVE because He first LOVED us.

He delights in unchanging LOVE

We were/are sick too. We had chicken soup for Valentine's day, and went to bed early, to sleep.
ReplyDeleteKevin got me a lovely bouquet of roses and carnations (my favorite) and I can't even enjoy the smell. At least I can still enjoy how pretty they look cheering up the house.
I am so sorry to hear that your V day was a sick one.. :( But it sure sounds like you got loved on just the same.. :) Loved the Valentine Box.. If only I could be so crafty.. *sigh* Our house is battling the flu right now too.. But ours is the more disgusting projectile kind... TMI?? Well I hope your on the mend, my sweet sister..
