What he did, instead, was write me a long letter about his reasons for not celebrating Valentine's Day. A letter! I didn't want to accept it. Instead I turned up my nose at it and he ripped it up. My curiosity about the letter stemmed my tears and as soon I could I fished out all the tiny pieces of "my letter" from the trash and pieced them together. As I read it I found that it was the most beautiful love letter (and the only one since!) I had ever received. I realized he was right. As my husband wrote, "We don't need a special day to prove the words "I Love You" to each other. We prove it everyday in the things we do for each other, celebrate it in our laughter and treasure it in moments that a Valentine's Day card or gift can never fully represent."
