It’s that time of the year when we all get mushy and kissy
faced. Yes that significant other is now in the spotlight once again.
We’ve been spending Valentines Day together for 42 years,
and I recall the first one we spent as a newly married couple.
We were living in a small apartment on Munsell Road in East
Patchogue, as she was pregnant with my daughter and I was working in NYC for an
ad agency. Going home I had a bouquet of one dozen red roses (her favorite) and
a box of Perugina Chocolates called Bacci, in means ‘kiss’ in Italian. This was
my first married Valentine’s Day with TLW (The Little Woman) and I was eager to
get home.
As I entered the apartment through the kitchen side door, I could
smell her cooking, and the cold February night made the light from the kitchen
and the wonderful smells, while being greeted by my beautiful wife all very
inviting.
I immediately gave her the flowers and the candy, which she
opened. Then she gave me my Valentine’s gift. A pair of boxer shorts with cash
registers and hearts coming out of them and it said: “Love hits the jackpot!”
But the good news was that and I never forgot it when I get
her chocolate candies is that she doesn’t care for chocolate candies!
She’s still beautiful and doesn’t like chocolate, so I
always get her the best I can find!
