My soulmate and I usually didn't do anything lavish or opulent for Valentine's Day, and that was just fine with us.
I would create a card for him with one of my photos or graphic
designs, brew a special pot of tea, carve something into a piece of
fruit, make tiny cookies in heart shapes. We shared a single piece
of scrumptious (organic) dark chocolate and then went for a long walk in the snowy woods
with our beloved canine companions, first Cassie, then Spencer, then (and now)
Beau.
There were no special declarations of love on February 14th. We told
each other so every day, and we were content with the way this day
unfolded. No frilly gestures and lovey-dovey professions were needed. We
knew how we felt about each other, how good we were together, how
amazingly blessed we were to have found each other so many years ago.
Irv traveled on ahead several months ago, but there is a handmade card on his bureau as always. I
carved a heart on a McIntosh apple and put it on the
old oak table with a pot of Darjeeling and his favorite cookies.
Beau and I will take a long walk in the woods, and my soulmate will be with us, but he won't leave any tracks in the snow. I will tell him I love him as I did every day when he was here
on earth, and as I still do every single day.
Wishing you deep and everlasting love too.
