Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! Normally besides Christmas this has to be my favorite holiday! Being the hopeless romantic that I am it is a day when you celebrate love. You share a special day and evening with the love in your life.

Last year was so much fun! I planned a huge surprise for Al and I. I gave him an address to meet me at which happened to be a cool hotel, where I had packed our bags and brought with me. I couldn't wait for him to get there, to see him, hold him. See the surprise on his face. He arrived and I handed him his clothes to put on and we went to the most romantic restaurant. As the ladies walked in the host handed them a rose. We sat in a corner table as a performer sand slow and romantic songs for us. The food was the very best quality and taste. Al loved it. And I loved how he made me feel.How he smiled at me as if I were the only woman in the room. Then we went back to our room where the celebration continued. We both took of work the next day and spent it together. What a wonderful memory.

This year, unlike the last four, is very different. I will be celebrating without Al. He is still my love, yet he seems to have forgotten me and the life we had together. I wonder if he remembers this day last year? or where he will be this evening? If I will cross his mind at all? As the only option I had, I sent him an e card. I wonder if he will read it? No matter where he is or who he is with, no one will love him like I do. No one will put forth the effort to make him feel so loved like I did.

Even though I feel very sad today, I hope all those couples out there celebrate their love for one another and appreciate that they have someone who loves them back.

Wherever you are my love, I am thinking of you.
