A Valentine's Story




Mom died 16 years ago.

She wrote this note to my dad years ago.  It was taped to the inside of his medicine cabinet for him to see everyday.  It followed him from their home in Fayetteville, Georgia to his apartment in Alpharetta and  to his assisted living aparment in Johns Creek.

My dad is 92.  Took a tumble last month and busted his ass.  Literally.  Fractured his pelvis in five places.  My brother, sister and I with the help of medical angels got him from the hospital to a physical rehab facility and back home in three and half weeks.

We moved him to a new room closer to the nurses station so they can keep a closer eye on him.  

During the move, I found the note and made sure it moved with him.  It's taped to the back of his medicine cabinet in his new spot.

Love never dies.  It's the only thing I know of that is everlasting.

Happy Valentine's, Haskell and Betty.
