BEST VALENTINE’S DAY STORY:
Bella ... See more Arevalo,
My most memorable Valentine’s Day was in 2008. My husband Roger, who was an infantry Marine, had deployed to Iraq for his second tour on February 11, 2008, 3 days before Valentine’s Day. It was the first Valentine’s Day we spent apart since we’ve been together. The thought of being alone on Valentine’s day made me feel very sad, but the thought of my husband not coming back home was even worse.
My husband was never known to be a romantic. I guess the Marine Corps built him that way. I didn’t expect anything on Valentine’s day but maybe his usual gift of roses via 1-800-Flowers.On Valentine’s day, he called me from Iraq and told me that he made it safe and to wish me a Happy Valentine’s Day. He asked me to do him a favor. He said, “when I get off the phone with you I want you to check inside your glove compartment.†I asked why, †he said, “because I love you.†When I checked my glove compartment, I found a note that read, “Happy Valentine’s Day my love. I love you. I’m sorry I had to leave you but know that I will come back to you – this I promise you my sweetheart.†I started to cry. On the bottom of the note it said, “check your night stand.†I checked my night stand and underneath my lamp I found another note that lead me to another note. Each note had a personal note and a “remember when…†My husband left a trail of notes around the house (coffee maker, freezer, oven, behind television, inside a DVD (The Notebook), and even in one of my shoes. The notes ultimately led to my closet where he asked me to look inside our photo album. When I took out our photo album, I flipped through each page and found a picuture of our wedding day. Beside the picture, there was a post-it note that read, “Do you remember the day we got married and I didn’t have enough money to buy you that ring you wanted, so you settled for a plain silver band? Well, I didn’t settle…†Behind the picture was a string of ribbon with the diamond ring I always wanted! Of course, there was another note that said, “Even though I am not with you right now, my love is always with you! Happy Valentine’s Day sweetheart.â€I could not stop crying! I was sooooo happy! But that was not the best part yet. I found out that day that I we were expecting a baby!!!!!! I named her Valentina! That was the best Valentine’s Day ever!
WORST VALENTINE’S DAY STORY:
indiana adams,
Valentines Day. 7th Grade. My friend John and I met up at his locker at the end of the day.
“Happy Valentine’s Day,†he said, “I got you something that I overheard you saying that you wanted.†He opened his locker and pulled out a shoe box wrapped in notebook paper. There were skyward drawn arrows on the side of the box and a pencil written note that warned “this side upâ€.
“Thank you, John. That is SO NICE.†I was having a tough day because the day before, my 8th grade boyfriend had broken up with me so he could take a different girl to the Valentines Day dance that night.
I gingerly peeled off the paper and stuck my fingernail under the lid to break the scotch tape seal. I lifted the top.
A dead hamster. John had gotten me a dead hamster.
John was kind of a weird kid… the sort of kid who reveled in stealing teachers’ chalk, eating anything on a dare, and going weeks without a bath. This was a cruel joke.
“YOU SUCK. A dead hamster? You are a disgusting person!†I pushed the box back in to his hands.
John’s grin switched to an open mouthed gape. His eyes brimmed with tears, but he tried to blink them away in his macho middle school way.
“Mr. Hammy! Oh, I forgot to poke holes in the lid. He probably suffocated in my locker all day. I thought…†he trailed off and tried to regain his composure, “I overheard you say you wanted a pet, and my mom said it was okay if I gave you mine…â€
Saddest Valentines Day, ever. Rest in peace, Mr. Hammy!
