Most people celebrated Valentine’s days on the 14th. This year we did not. One year ago today we lost my father to a very long battle and this was my mothers first valentines with out him, so she came and spent the evening with us. We had a great dinner with her and my son, we were able to tell stories of him and relax. Well, today my wife and I are going to actually have our day together. 

Instead of doing something apart, we will spend the day bing watching (my first time seeing it) Game of Thrones. We will get cleaned up and sit around together then have a nice dinner alone since our son is heading back to college this afternoon. We will relax and just spend the day together. Days like today make me remember why I still love her so much. Some of the comments remind me of why we are still together.

Last night my mother made the comment about how hard it was being married and my wife with out hesitation said “I have never felt that way. There may have been days that were hard, but the good has far outweighed the bad. I love being married to my husband and wouldn’t have it any other way”. How did I find someone that feels the same way I do and do it at such a young age. We were 16(her) and 17(me) when we started dating in high school and I am so glad that she decided that I am the one she wanted.
