Although Valentine's Day is often seen as for couples, we've broadened it to include celebrating as a family with my beloved, giving our children flowers, and then our eldest giving flowers to all the women in our family, too.
These were lovely gestures from three generations of women and a reminder not to take one another for granted as a family. It's not that we're a perfect unit, but we've gotten to know each other pretty well over the years, and we've accepted that, through those imperfections, we can learn to forgive and love, even if we never fully agree on certain things.
As for me, I particularly love flowers and have been growing plants since I was very young. So, I have plants inside the kitchen, bathroom, lounge and haven't quite got to the bedroom yet, except for bouquets, but it is pretty special in receiving and giving flowers too.
I must say I have a sweet tooth and enjoy chocolate, but only in moderation. It was also nice for our family to drive to a local beach at night and walk along it. We were reminded that my first date with my beloved was on Valentine's Day in 2000, so it's been 26 years since we've been together, and this year we celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary...
