Yesterday Rob asked me if he could take some money out of what we still had put aside as play money. I said sure, thinking he probably wanted another thingamajiggy for the computer or a doohickey for the car or something (I am sooooooo technical!) Today when he got up he went out and was gone for about half an hour, came back with some things we needed and returned the videos we'd rented. We had a great morning, ate our ham and ick, er, cabbage, and chatted a lot. Someone knocked on the door after a while and I figured it was my neighbor or Rob's cousin. Nope. It was a deliveryman with a HUGE basket of flowers, two green and white balloons, and a stuffed leprechaun. My first thought was that it was from a friend in MI or that they meant to give it to my neighbor. He handed me the card, which I opened and read

"To my Irish love on her Irish day. Love and luck, Rob".

I turned around and he was in the doorway grinning. He said it's been too long since I had flowers, and he hoped I liked them. I would have answered him but I was crying. He knows St. Patrick's Day is special to me, and he made it even more so.

I just wanted to share. I know I may complain about Rob sometimes, but MAN do I adore him.

Awwwww, Mel! That's wonderful! I would have cried too!

My dbf did that to me once too. He left to go back home (5 hours away) and a couple hours later I had flowers delivered.

I'm so glad you had such a lucky day!

Enjoy it.

Keep that smile on your face because I can feel it from here!
