I have had a pretty busy day today. I got up and fed myself and Caleb and started getting ready to go to town. I had to go to the grocery store and get some snacks to take to a meet and greet at the armory. Apparently going to the grocery store on the day before Mother's Day is a bigger mistake than I had realized. I thought I would never escape that place! UGH!!! I went from there to the armory where I had a pretty good time. Even though I don't feel that I really learned anything informative in the meeting I had a great time talking to the girls. It is nice beyond words to get together with people who are walking a similar path in life. We may not all have the same experiences and lead the same day-to-day lives, but we all have a deployed loved one in common and it is so comforting to know that there are those who understand exactly how scary and lonely that can be.
So, after this Caleb was exhausted and I was kind of worn out so we headed home. Caleb fell asleep on the way home so I had to haul his dead weight into the house to put him to bed. As I approached the door I noticed the big box on the steps, but it didn't really register for a moment. Then I did the double take and realized that this was a very familiar box from 1800flowers.com. I have gotten several arrangements of flowers from my sweetheart over the past few years. More particularly when he is away from home on a special occasion. He can't always call and he can't always get me something for the occasion, but he always does his best to get me flowers... always a day early. He is always worried they will arrive late so he makes a point of ordering them to come a day early. This is how I know he loves me. He does such undeniably sweet things so that I know he remembers what day it is and he makes sure that I know he isn't going to let the day pass unmarked, even if he has to have the flowers sent early... I will not be forgotten! So in my kitchen in this remarkably girly pink vase, sit 18 roses of pink and white! I almost fell apart right there on the porch. I know he remembers, but these sweet little gestures really get to me. I love that man! It is beyond me how I managed to be blessed so!
As always please keep us and all of our soldiers in your prayers!
