Think about it. Only one day out of 365 to proclaim your love for that one special person in your life. Come on. Ok, so you say I don’t have that one special person. True. However here are a few stories I know about people who insist on celebrating Valentine’s Day. I’ll let you decide.
A young man always bought the biggest box of chocolate candy for his girlfriend who was in college and away on the actual day, February 14. Years later, he confessed that he waited until after Valentine’s Day when the chocolate was on sale before he made his purchase. His intent was to impress, not to profess his love. In the long run, they went their separate ways. The farce was apparently not just in the chocolate. One wife, insisting her husband give her the grandest of all Valentine’s Day presents so that she could convince the office staff he “loved” her more than anyone else’s husband or wife, confessed she recycled his Valentine’s Day cards year after year. I suppose she had several over the years, so that it wasn’t actually the same exact card every year, but still…….. In my opinion, true love doesn’t need to wait for Valentine’s Day to be expressed, and if that’s the only day of the year it gets attention, perhaps I’m better off alone.
