Question of the Day!

During the brief time Joe and I were in each other's lives he always wrote me a poem and gave me a single rose. I always cherished this and put it in a vase where it lasted for about a week in a half. I made him a huge Scratty card. Other than poems, it was just a day to spend together before one of us went in to work.

Back in 2015 just after my husband had died, I wrote him a love poem. Well thats not the whole story. It was a canticle that would've needed an XGC rating here.

Unfortunately mom found it when it dropped out of my personal belongings. She then read it out loud to my dad. I was so embarrassed. I only did it because I believe in life after death and that Joe's spirit was still aware of what was going on! I never expected another living human being to read it.

Since then I've quit celebrating Valentine's except to indulge in sweets. I don't see another way to celebrate without making a fool of myself. For whatever reason, I'm still in love with my late husband and don't feel the need to find another "Valentine".
