Feb 14 ❤️ 13 months
I was lucky enough to have Valentine’s Day every day.
Dwight was the most loving soul. His nickname for me was “love” or “sweets”.
His nickname for his daughter Erin was “sug” (short form of sugar).
He called almost every woman “lady” and there were 3 women he gave the honorific of “Miss” to: Miss Martha, Miss Sandy, and Miss Ellen (secretary at work).
When he first asked me out, I didn’t know anything about him, but we had a few mutual friends, so I checked with them about him. I consistently heard “they broke the mold when they made Dwight”.
I thought today might bother me, but it’s been much okayer than I thought. I’m glad for those of you who love and have someone special in your life. Cherish them. I had my one true love, and it was wonderful. Everyone else should have that, too.
For the record, Dwight pretty much scorned Valentine’s Day. A day of profit by Hallmark and Godiva, and a really bizarre way to celebrate the death of martyr Valentine in 270 AD. ❤️
