Valentine Tulips by kwind

Valentine Tulips

30 years ago today I gave my husband a carnation. I was 16 and he was 17 and we were both in grade 11. The student council was selling flowers to mark the day so I got up the nerve to write "I wish I could call you my valentine" on the card. We've been together ever since. This June will be our 25th wedding anniversary. It's crazy to think we've been together for 30 years but what's really insane is thinking of our daughter, who is 16 and in grade 11. I can't even begin to imagine her bringing home her future husband today. Luckily, neither can she!! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Beautiful! Happy Valentine's Day, Kim. Time passes... crazy and meaningful.

Such a beautiful love story Kim. It's so nice to hear that sometimes your high school sweetheart really is the man of your dreams.

You did start your journey together so young! As you say, looking at a daugher or a son - you just can't imagine marriage at that age! This is a perfect picture and should be framed and go on the wall! fav

Great story.

What a great story!! It's funny how love stories can change from generation to generation, or sometimes repeat themselves. I was a junior in high school when I thought to myself "I wouldn't mind marrying Jeff LeFevre" but there were many years between then and the reality! Happy Anniversary to you both!! Lovely flowers.

Lovely story. I met my husband when I was 17 and he was 19. Your story is beautiful.
