A Bouquet of Flowers When I Least Expected It


--by Tigerlily, posted Sep 22, 2008

As many of you know, my lover of 5 years left me 2 weeks before Valentine's Day.  What you don't know is that he has three wonderful daughters whom I've come to love over these years.  They are all teenagers now.  Beautfiul loving girls ;  I will miss them as much as I do him.

On Valentine's Day, I came to work and there was a bouquet of Valentine flowers on my desk along with a card signed by all the girls and their mother.  A very loving supportive card that expresses how each of them will always love me and be there for me.   I couldn't stop crying.  How touching.

I'm so thankful to have been a part of their lives and so thankful that in some small way I can remain so.

That feeling is gre8! I wish you all the good luck wherever you go. Be the same person & be kind always:-)

Last time she called I let her know how much she has meant to me and still does...I am sure your lover will regret letting you go. You have evidently made an impact in the girls' lives...:}

Just because your relationship ended with your lover does NOT mean it did with the children! How cool! ;)
