The Sweetest thing happened to me yesterday afternoon I just have to share with the world!

If you are married or dating someone long enough you will probably be able to relate to a situation where you say something you can't take back and you think the other person is very upset with you.

This happened to my husband and I yesterday when what started out as a teasing email over a birthday gift led to an email about our anniversary which is the day after his birthday. Needless to say most women even me (I admit it) can be touchy on the topic of anniversaries and birthdays. Most especially when one thinks that her husband has forgotten their first anniversary or doesn't care about it.

It has been a wonderful year. No fights to speak of and we get along great so I was a bit furious when I thought he didn't really care about our anniversary. Next thing you know I must of said something he didn't like because he emailed and said something like, "If your going to act that way, I will talk to you later." As most women can imagine that only made it worse. So I thought for a second and decided not to reply to just let it go especially since I was still at work.

Having came to work a little late I was still here at 10 after 5 when he came in with 2 roses in a vase. I couldn't believe it. No one has ever brought me roses at work or anything similar. The card reads, "I have not forgotten our anniversary. I love you very much."

I could have died and I didn't know what to say.

If you are in a bad relationship and can get out do so. I say this because I stayed in one for years for the kids, for fear, and for lack of courage & money. Leaving was so hard and money was tight. I thought at times I couldn't do it but I did. I went back to school and got not one but two degrees and now I came across the best man I could ask for. He made up for all the horrible things I went through the first time in less than a year.

I appreciate him and love him dearly.

P.S. If ever he comes across this and reads it I hope he knows I appreciate his patience and supporting love while I expand my business investments and through the opening of Starr's Discount Store.
