    • Valentine Roses

      On the first Valentine’s Day after September 11, 2001, Bruce’s firehouse, Squad 41, sent me one dozen long stem red roses. They send a dozen roses to each of six widows from Squad 41. It was an amazing gesture.

      I cried because of their kindness.

      I also laughed because those were the first Valentine’s roses I ever received.

      For each of the twenty-one years we were married, I told Bruce “don’t buy me roses on Valentine’s Day. They are too expensive. The price is inflated. Buy me flowers any other day but not Valentine’s Day.”

      He did buy me flowers on random days.

      And I am grateful 🙂
