Happy Valentine's Day! Brian got the day off work and we are heading out in a bit
to spend the day with Tim. While Brian helps Tim work on his taxes, I'll head
to Barnes and Noble and get a cup of coffee and browse the books and magazines.
We'll then take Tim grocery shopping (he's without a car ~ we're still helping him
look for one) and then we'll all go out to dinner at a Thai restaurant. I'm looking
forward to spending my day with two of the people that I love most in this world.
Speaking of love and family, you might recall my post from January 13th where I
announced that I won a giveaway from The Moski Homes blog. I got to pick a
fabric-wrapped wire word from Jane at Planet Joy. I wanted a word to go over the
family photo in my office and asked you all for some suggestions. Thanks for all
who offered their help and lovely thoughts. I ended up choosing the word, "eternal".
Isn't it beautiful?
I haven't hung it on the wall. I just have it propped on top of the picture for now.
Haven't decided if I'm going to leave it this way or hang it a little higher.
Jane also sent me two hanging hearts, which I have hanging from a dresser knob.
Yes, love goes on, even in death.
Eternal love.
Philip will always be with us.
Such a precious post and such a perfect word. This is a beautiful addition to your home and all that it symbolizes as well.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jennifer. That picture was taken on Phil's 21st birthday. He passed away just two months later.
