Happy Valentine's Day

I am so happy that these two met and fell in Love.

Meet my Grandparents. I adore this picture of them.
They were such a wonderful influence on my life.
After their passing I found an old love letter that my Grandpa had written to my Granny.
He was quite the romantic. They had the lasting kind of love. It was beautiful right up to the end. They gave me the hope that this kind of love exists.

I wish for you this Happy kind of Love.
Happy Valentine's Day.

What happy faces....how very fortunate that you have those love letters....oh what I would give to have one from my grandparents.

If you ever get the inspiration to share that letter...PLEASE let me be one of the first to know.
I find it so "refreshing" to "be there" in that era...with the person who is writing it.

I remember my best friend let me read her grandmothers diary of BEFORE she married her grandfather..and it was so, so sweet and so funny in parts....about how PROPER they were back then in the 1880's.
..."Harry tried to hold my hand today...we have only been dating for 7 months, I must speak to him about being so presumptuous "

Beautiful picture Becky of two beautiful people. What a treasure to have found that letter. Somethings are just meant to be found. I've saved many of those things for my own family to have when I'm gone.
It's so good to see your post today.
