Valentines!!

*Thank you to my sweet sister Priscilla  for being a guest writer today...

Oh, how I love this Day!

To know the Love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Eph 3:19

In Elementary school we use to say "es un dia de amor!" I always got so spoiled by a certain someone with candy and heart drawn pictures that said I love you. My family teases me to this day about that!!!

Then in Jr High I met the guy of my dreams and to this day he spoils me so!

In March we celebrate 24 years of marriage!!!

Oh, I love him!

To me, Valentines day is a day to do something extra special for my family.

One of the things I used to do for Natasha is send her flowers

"from someone who admires you"

...I started this tradition when she was in 5th grade.

She had no clue who had sent her flowers and it drove her crazy.

Haha! She would call everybody she knew and asked if they had sent her flowers!

She loved that she had an admirer.

Every year she got excited and wondered if this year she would get flowers again and sure enough she would.

Then when we moved to Lubbock she started to get antsy a few days before Valentines day and I asked what was going on and she was wondering if her admirer knew that she had moved, LOL

...sure enough she came home with a bundle of flowers!

Listening to her phone calls to her friends back in OK was priceless! Her admirer had followed her to Lubbock...

The following year my secrete came to an end. She had a serious boyfriend who was about to break up with her and so I had to tell her that it was me all those years sending her flowers haha!

The look on her face was priceless!

I continued to send her flowers every year and she would tell me with a smile that her stalker sent her flowers again!

Last Valentines Day was super hard!

Natasha is no longer with us and it hurt to not see her big smile coming through the

door on Valentines Day with her flowers...

Now I bring her flowers at the cemetery and the tag still says

"from someone who admires you"

 I will always admire my little girl! She had strength I dream of.

I love her so much!

As Valentines Day is just around the corner again, Pete and I went to Hobby Lobby last night to get her her Valentine bouquet. Today I made the heart tag that says

"from someone who admires you"!

We also went and bought our boys their Valentine gifts!

I love my Husband and Children with all my heart! Valentines - es un dia de Amor!

Love on your family!

Love,

Priscilla
