I have to say, that was a very heartfelt post Monique, I'm verklempt.
The reason: I don't get flowers much or a card on valentines as Paul says it is a money grab and that there are more ways to be romantic than spending money on flowers that die or a card you throw away.
He thinks romance is doing things for each other, like all the things you listed above that TJ does for you and your family. I agree!!
I would much rather have him do the little (and big) things that make my life easier while fishing, camping or in everyday life, and all that kind of stuff that some may take for granted, than have a card or week old wilted flower. I appreciate it so much, and obviously you do also
So this post really hit home Monique. Hats of to TJ for your sacrifices. I know of what Monique speaks I have a man who does the same for me.
