Remembering My Honey on Valentines Day
Published by admin under Dating, Husband, Simple Pleasures on February 14, 2009
Yes, this is us, the picture taken in the fall of 1978, a little over 30 years ago, so this is our 30th Valentines Day together. We went back and forth on that a bit today, me thinking it was 31 years, and he reminding me no, it was 30, as we took a quiet country drive and stopped at some spots along the way that have become part of our memories. Memories are a wonderful thing about being with the same person for so many years, you have more and more of them that bind you together if you have built a good relationship.
I got my beautiful single red rose, something hubby gives me each year, and a few other little more intimate, sweet secret things that have become special to us as a couple, those little things that are private, and bind us simply because they are nobody’s business but out own. He got his candy that he loves, and we shared time together riding, talking, stopping to eat along the way. We chose a simple place to eat, and as we went in I thought, I wonder how many others will be spending Valentines Day so simply…not trying to impress one another…just enjoying one another…as I looked around I saw many couples of all ages and of kinds. The older ones didn’t need to speak a lot, they were content just to be together. There were very young couples who didn’t know one another as well, talking, and gazing into one another’s eyes. Then there were those in between who shared their evening together with a little one, maybe they couldn’t get a babysitter. The beauty of relationship was all around.
As the years go by, my husband and I learn to treasure each other more, and to thank God for the gift of our relationship with one another.
Happy Valentines Day!
Is this really you Claudia? Oh my! You look like a young girl–no more than 15. Your skin is so beautiful and flawless. That may explain why your skin looks like that now.
This is a very beautiful picture of you! And congrats on celebrating another Valentine’s Day together.
Your sweet Bev
But as the post says, it was taken in 1978…my most recent picture, taken a month or so ago is on the “about me” page:-) Considerably changed, 30+ years later:-) God bless! Claudia
What a beautiful post! You actually got me a little misty eyed. My husband and I just celebrated our Valentines Day/Anniversary — it’s only been 4 years for us, but I cherish each one.
Hi Ann,
Thnnk you, Ann, I wish you many more happy and healthy years.
Thanks for visiting!
Claudia
What a beautiful post to celebrate your long-lived and loving relationship. Also that photo is a true treasure. You can see the love between you radiate through your smiles. I’m sure every Valentines Day is a wonderful celebration for you two!
You look way too young in that photo for a guy with a beard! You look like a very young girl.
Thanks for sharing. Hubby and I spend every Valentine’s Day doing something together too - just for the joy of being with one another and remembering why we got married.
Eileen and Kathie, I don’t know why I didn’t see notice about your messages until today! Thanks so much for visiting.
Kathie, actually the guy in the beard is a year and a half younger than me:-) And that picture is about 30 years old. I was 26 at the time, and he 24…but right now that still seems very young!
Yes, Eileen, each year that goes by we treasure the special dates more.
Thanks again for visiting.
