"Indeed, one of the greatest things a father can do for his children is to love their mother."
President Howard W Hunter, October 1994
About a week ago I was listening to the radio and the radio announcer stated that if you went to a flower website and entered his name then you would get a special deal on valentine flowers. So, I let David know about that in case there was any reason he may need to order flowers. I did remind him however that my work schedule did have me out of the office on Tuesday, February 14th, so if he was going to order flowers he may need to keep that in mind. David is not a fan of Valentine's Day and we had agreed several years ago that we could either be all romantic that one day or we could choose to express our love for one another every day. So really, valentines is usually just another day to us. But, I truly did want flowers, and I have found that rather than just hoping that David magically figure out that I want something, it is best to just give him some really big hints :) And, do you know, my hint was perfect. Yesterday morning as I was sitting in my office, I received a beautiful delivery of flowers, chocolate, and a little bear....it was wonderful. But the most meaningful thing of all was the card and message that came with the delivery. David is so thoughtful and his words touched me. I am so thankful to be married to such a wonderful man!
I brought the flowers and card home with me and Samuel was curious about why I had flowers. I told him that Daddy sent them to me because he loves me and I read the card to him. Samuel giggled as I read the message from David and Samuel confirmed that Daddy really does love me and he followed that up by telling me that he loves me too. Such a good little boy and he has a great great example of how to be a good man in his dad.
