Valentine's Day started off with the sun shinning again and kisses from my husband. I wish we could have spent the day together, but he was off to work. I did have the pleasure of spending the day with Laney. My faithful four legged friend. We celebrated our seventh Valentine's Day together. She has my heart and she is the best spoiled dog ever.
The sun departed this afternoon and the snow is falling once again. The weatherman predicted up to four inches of snow. My husband has arrived home safely after spending an hour on snow covered roads. There is a fifteen car pileup on the highway and several accidents on the side roads. We hope no one was seriously hurt. I think most people will be spending Valentine's eve at home.
We are nestled in now and enjoying a peaceful evening with our spoiled dog between us. The Valentine memories this week have definitely helped remind us to fill each day with love and happiness. It will always overshadow the heartache in life.
I made a new and special memory of this day, as I gave my husband an album filled with love letters. They were the love letters I gave him in college. We have had a good laugh reading them. I signed them all with love always. And, as a result we lived happily ever after. Happy Valentine's Day !!
Life is beautiful !!
I love you John...you are my Valentine!

Laney passed away in Febuary of 2017. This blog and her legacy live on. She gave me courage to talk about how the medical field affected our family. She gave me a purpose to write. Forever she will be in my heart.

Dads Are The Best
Wow, another day of sunshine to make this a beautiful week to celebrate love. Tomorrow is the big day that a lot of people wait for to celebrate with their loved ones. Valentine's Day is one of the biggest days for the florist and candy companies. I am not a fan of candy, but I'll take the flowers any day. A hint to my husband. Remember to celebrate love everyday. One day a year is not enough.
I have another great memory for Valentine's Day. This memory is from my high school days. My friend and I did not have dates for a turn about dance that usually occurred around Valentine's Day, so my wonderful dad said he would take us out for some fun. He is always up to having fun and can make me smile even when I'm down. He has the greatest sense of humor still at the age of 84.
He decided to take my friend and I ice skating. It was a day to remember. My dad decided to show off his skating technique, and while doing so he hit a divot in the ice. It threw him face down onto the ice, and he slid across the ice on his belly. Never fear he was not injured, but a little embarrassed, as he stood up and knocked ice off his clothes. I still remember the three of us busting out laughing, and my dad standing there smiling. He is my hero!
He has had a busy year medically, but his sense of humor has pulled him through. He kept quite a few nurses laughing. He told me yesterday he is ready for new adventures. I hope he has many more. I love you, Dad !!
Here is another heart from someone in college, I couldn't find a name on it. It must have been from someone in my chemistry or biology lab.
Hope where ever you are that tomorrow and everyday is filled with love !! Sweet dreams to all.
Life is beautiful !!
