True Love

Every year my Dad makes my mom a Valentine's Day card that usually consists of white paper with a heart drawn on front that says D+D or DH+DH. The inside has always had a Roses are Red Violets are blue poem. . .here was this years. (it was so dang cute I had to post for everyone to see)

D.H. + D.H.

DARLING DEE,

BE MY VALENTINE
I KNOW THINGS WILL BE FINE.
ROSES ARE RED
VIOLETS ARE BLUE
THIS IS A LITTLE HISTORY OF ME AND YOU.
BACK IN 68,
WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU
I THOUGHT YOU LOOKED GREAT
BY 69
YOU WERE MINE
IN 71
WE DECIDED TO BECOME ONE.
IN 73
WE HAD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE FIRST OF THREE.
IN 76
WE DID DOUBLE TRICKS.
I THOUGHT OUR FAMILY WAS FINE
BUT HERE CAME ANOTHER ONE IN 79.
IT HAD ONLY BEEN 10 YEARS
SINCE YOU WERE MINE.
ANOTHER ONE IN 81
I KNEW WE SHOULD BE DONE…..
BUT YET ANOTHER MIRACLE CAME IN 91.
TWENTY YEARS AFTER WE BECAME ONE
I MADE SURE WE WERE DONE.
NOW IT’S 08
I CAN’T SEE AS GOOD
SO I THINK YOU STILL LOOK GREAT!!
IT SEEMS LIKE YEARS HAVE SLIPPED BY, BUT
A LIFETIME IS STILL AHEAD OF ME
THANK GOD I CAN SHARE IT WITH YOU,
DARLING DEE.

LOVE,
DON

So cute. My mom got the name Darling Dee from my Dad's fratertnity brothers. . .they always wanted Darling Dee to come over in her short dresses and dance with my dad cuz she'd have to reach her arms up to put them around his neck and the dress would get even shorter. I wish I had a scanner so I could show you some great pics of these two back then but all I have are pics from a digital camera. . .
