Our wedding bulletin said it all...
This day I marry my friend,
the one I laugh with,
dream with,
Love
Jackie and I did not have many specific dreams for the future but I did anticipate retiring from work and growing old with her. My future was anticipated as a twosome.

Jackie and I did not have many specific dreams for the future but I did anticipate retiring from work and growing old with her. My future was anticipated as a twosome.
But it was not to be. Jackie died, went to be with the Lord before I retired. Not only were our golden years not so golden; in fact, we never got to our golden years.
But I was not promised golden years on this earth, no less ‘a rose garden’. The golden days are ahead of us in the New Heaven and the New Earth.
So this Valentine Day I cannot give her flowers or a card or express my love and that still feels empty and sad. But one day she will be my Valentine forever and we will both be greatly in love with our Lord as well.
Maybe she will even sit on my lap!
