43 Happy Valentine's Day

Yesterday I stopped by the church to pick up some books and to fill out some room reservation forms so The Visual Arts Ministry can hang two art shows in April and May. The volunteer at the desk recognized my name and said she had been in an exercise class with my husband. Then she told me this story. About five years ago she was widowed and left with two young children. My husband brought flowers to the class for all the women on Valentine's Day, which was the first holiday without her husband. She said it meant so much to her and was the only Valentine she received. She never told him how she treasured his thoughtfulness, so passed it along to me.
