This mem­ory takes me back almost seven or eight years (I am hav­ing trou­ble remem­ber­ing exact dates). I had a very, very close friend who lives in the Mid­west and she was hav­ing a tough time right around Valentine’s Day. From what I remem­ber, her and her hus­band were hav­ing some mar­i­tal issues and she was tak­ing it hard. Com­bine that with the fact that she was work­ing almost two full time jobs at the time with two young girls,  It was fair to say she was tee­ter­ing at the edge. I knew that in gen­eral she wasn’t a really big fan of Valentine’s Day so the actual day wasn’t a big deal to her. Even still, in the state she was in, I wanted to do some­thing for her just so she knew that some­one out there loved her and cared for her and was there for her dur­ing this extremely dif­fi­cult time. I placed a call to the local florist near where she lived and ordered her a dozen rozes. Just told her I was think­ing about her and there for her if she needed me.

Well, she was so very touched by my gift to her. She said she even shed some tears of joy. Some­thing pretty sim­ple bright­ened someone’s Valentine’s Day. Mis­sion accom­plished. That is another favorite Valentine’s Day mem­ory for me.

My Favorite Valentine’s Day Memories Part 1

Valentine’s Day is quickly approach­ing and instead of post­ing a bit­ter, angry sad post, I will like to share with all of you some of my favorite Valentine’s Day memories.

The first one takes me back to 10th grade and a crush I had. It was the mid­dle of bas­ket­ball sea­son and I was in an advanced Anatomy & Phys­i­ol­ogy class. My desk­mate was a cutie who was a Var­sity Cheer­leader and also smart as hell. We inter­acted so much dur­ing class and then at times after school because of bas­ket­ball. Of course a crush devel­oped quickly and strongly. Dur­ing high school, I also worked a part time job so I had some extra change. Nor­mally in our high school, for Valentine’s Day they would deliver car­na­tions to peo­ple in their classes (of course you had to pay). I had the genius idea of send­ing her a car­na­tion deliv­ery while we were in class together. A lit­tle bold, but fun, I went for it. The day came and as class was almost over the fire alarm went off. At the same time, here comes the car­na­tion deliv­ery. The impact of my though­ful­ness was gone. She still got the deliv­ery and knew it was from me, but I missed my 15 min­utes of sit­ting next to her after the deliv­ery to really “make my move.”  I never got the chance again.

Nev­er­the­less, this is one of my favorite Valentine’s Day mem­o­ries. Stay tuned for more later on in the week.
