Happy Valentine's Day

This is maybe the 2nd Valentine's day that I have been away from Paul, my husband and friend of nearly 9 years. It is difficult. I miss him very much, as well as the kids. Just being in his presence strengthens me daily. The fact that we can now talk via Messenger and Skype on regular basis at minimal cost, has made it a little easier. I recognise the distance between Jamaica and the UK is quite far and as such I was content to dwell on my memories of happy times in the past... but Paul was not having that. I was pleasantly shocked and surprised when I got a call from the University post room that I had a package there to be collected. I thought nothing of it... until I realised that the package was in fact a vase with 12 long stemmed red roses!!! I am amazed and appreciative of the love this action has showed for me and I will never take it for granted. I don't know how he did it...and it doesn't matter. It must have taken a lot of effort and planning on his part and therefore I feel so humbled and loved.
Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!
