My now-husband and I officially became boyfriend and girlfriend about a week before Valentine’s day 2010 – which we promptly decided we wouldn’t celebrate (cue prank war from family. Long story).
The Anglican calendar commemorates Saints Methodius and Cyril on February 14th (Cyril as in Cyrillic) so instead we gave each other alphabets – either an actual alphabet or one of those “I love my love with an A” poems.
Thirteen years on, my darling husband is keeping up the tradition better than I have been. This year he gave me Braille, which he has started learning.

The only way I have ever celebrated St. Patty’s is making corned beef, LOL. I hate crowds and green beer just sounds horrible. It just was a “lower pressure” holiday when I was single. Now that I have been married all these years I just make everyone a nice dinner.

Valentines Day is nice, but over commercialized like you wrote in your great poem. I go for personal messages and a red heart or three and that’s that. Happy Valentines Day to you. ???

Oh, thank you! You are so right about this. Not that I didn’t tale losing Roobee hard, but Hubby was devastated. He (like you mentioned) took her acceptance/love as a sign we were meant for each other (and she was totally right). He was absolutely gutted when she passed and even though it’s been a year and a half, I can’t mention her without him getting really upset. I am SO HAPPY you found your perfect fit so young. As I mentioned somewhere, my only regret with Hubby is it took so long to find him!

Luckily, I never had to battle the dating wars outside of high school; I’d still be single. NO idea how our two kids manage(d)…one married, one not.

We’ll be married 45 years in September, and our Reese-cat left us after 19-1/2 years and six moves. Your poem hits all the right notes!

Animals are so intuitive. Roobee knew a keeper when she saw one. Thank you for the fun poem. My first love and I just celebrated our 59th anniversary and we feel very lucky to have found each other early. We didn’t have to struggle through the dating wars. Somehow we knew we were supposed to be together at age 18. Sorry you lost your Roobee but you have each other and those great memories.
