HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

IT IS VALENTINES DAY TODAY, AND I COULD NOT BE MORE THANKFUL. I DO HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR, BOBBIE JO IS STILL WITH US AND LIFE MAY BE BECOMING JUST A BIT MORE NORMAL. I WOKE THIS MORNING TO WISH MARTIN A HAPPY VALENTINES DAY (IN MY OWN SPECIAL WAY) AND WHILE WE WERE VIGOROUSLY ENJOYING THE MOMENT, JAYBIRD CAME WALTZING INTO THE APARTMENT- WHAT A SURPRISE! WELL, NOT SO MUCH FOR HIM, HE KNOWS THE POOL TABLE IS FOR "WRESTLING". WELL, WE WERE NOT SO MUCH WRESTLING AS GEARING UP FOR A MATCH! ANYWAY, WE DECIDED THAT OUR VALENTINE CELEBRATION WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE AT WHATABURGER- WHERE WE HAD BREAKFAST AND PLAYED GIN. (THAT IS ONE OF OUR MOST FAVORITE THINGS TO DO). THEN, BECKY TOOK ME TO JAYBIRD'S BASEBALL GAME. HE HIT TWO GREAT HITS, AND CAUGHT A FAR OUTFIELD POP UP. HE IS A GREAT PLAYER. AFTER THAT, WE WENT SHOPPING. NOW, TODAY IS ALSO THE ANNIVERSARY OF CAHD. THIS STANDS FOR "CRAZY AS HELL DAY". THIS IS SOMETHING THAT BECKY AND I DO, MEANING THAT ON ANY GIVEN MOMENT, WE PICK OUT SOMEONE THAT NEEDS CHEERING UP AND DO SOMETHING NICE FOR THEM. IT COULD BE TO PAY THE TOLL FOR SOMEONE ON THE TOLLWAY, GIVE A FLOWER TO A STRANGER, OR JUST TO SMILE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WE HAVE PURCHASED A MEAL FOR SOMEONE OR GIVEN THEM BUSFARE. WHATEVER SEEMS APPROPRIATE AT THE TIME. ANYWAY, WE STARTED DOING THIS A YEAR AGO TODAY. ON VALENTINES DAY, THE RECIPIENT IS EACH OTHER. WE DO SOMETHING WONDERFUL FOR EACH OTHER. SO, TODAY WE WENT SHOPPING AND HAD LUNCH. THEN, WE ENDED THE DAY BY GOING TO THE HOSPITAL AND VISITING BOBBIE JO. SHE IS SO MUCH BETTER! STILL GOOFY, BUT STEADILY IMPROVING. I AM SO HUMBLED BY THE GOODNESS OF MY HEAVENLY FATHER. I SEE THE MIRACLE UNFOLDING EACH DAY. SHE AND I HAVE COME TO A NEW LEVEL IN OUR RELATIONSHIP. FAMILY IS SO PRECIOUS, AND LIFE IS SO FULL, THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO. I THINK THAT BOBBIE JO, MARTIN AND MY MARTIN AND I ARE MUCH DIFFERENT PEOPLE NOW. TILL TOMORROW, LOVE, NANA
