Only Got My Love to Send On Valentine’s Day—Readers Comments

I asked for some Valentine’s Day Memories and while I didn’t get a ton– we got enough for me to publish them. Thank you to all who commented.

Happy Valentine’s Day to My Beloved Ken and his companion Miss Abigail. About 9 years ago I brought Abby home from my work at 11 P.M. at night, wrapped in a pink blanket and surprised Ken with his little Valentine—love at first sight and constant companions. Walking Abigail many times a day has kept them both healthy and happy.– Karen Hirst

This valentines will be the best! Our miracle granddaughter, Cambria will be with us for her first Valentine’s Day. She has stolen my heart.–Brenda (and Steve Mattey)

Sherry mentioned that Steve Earle has some nice lyrics for his song about forgetting “Valentine’s Day”–– Thank you Sherry Gail

So if you’ll take my IOU
I could make it up to you
Until then I hope my heart will do
For Valentine’s Day

Margaret Edwards and Shane Wm Edwards

Elizabeth Edwards said: “Someone I may or may not be related to, built a special certain person (who I also may or may not be related to) an igloo on Valentine’s Day. She was surprised when she arrived in Carleton Place to spend the day with him. He set up a KFC picnic for her inside the igloo with a heart shaped cake he made. He dyed the cake red with grenadine. They’ve now been married for 32 years. My friends heard this story when we were teenagers and we all made it our goal that we too wanted an “igloo of love” as we thought it was the most romantic gesture”.

Author’s Note- This made me cry, and I am still whimpering as I type it- however, like Elisabeth said–it may or may not be related to the Steve Earle song above suggested by Sherry Gail:)

This is not a Valentine story but it pretty well sums up my husband’s ( now of 50 years!) romanticism. It was our 10th anniversary and he was away from home – not unusual for his military career. A lovely bouquet arrived with the totally unromantic card that read : To Wendy LeBlanc from Frank LeBlanc. Often regret chucking out that memorable note!
