MY VALENTINE IS SPECIAL...........

SITAGITA has given me the liberty to express my deepest, inner most feelings as to why my Valentine is Special to me..........here my heart speaks boldly about my feelings for my Valentine that is my dearly loved husband Val.

Well, my Valentine is Special to me because he brightens up my day; he's special as well because he's so optimistic and cheerful. The twinkle in his eyes warms my heart. Knowing that he is around me gives me a feeling that nobody has ever given me before. With each passing moment that I’ve known him, my affection has grown stronger and stronger until now.

My Valentine is so special that my heart will always be for him and no man can take that away. He is really special as when he smiles the world freezes just to watch him smile. He has a good heart...........at the end of the day he's a good soul, and that's what counts.

My life is special because of the different moments that have shaped me into who I am today and we two have a very special bond, and that’s what makes him so special to me, for without him around my life would be shattered.

My Valentine is one who takes time to think of other people's needs and warms so many hearts with gentle words and thoughtful deeds, someone who's so glad to share, so glad to help and give and care adds something very special to the world. There's no one who is quite like him, for no one else could be as thoughtful in as many ways as he has been to me... And no one else could do and say the special things he says or ever mean as much to me--there's no one quite like my Valentine………..and hence he is special in all the ways for me.

Cupid had been over generous with me, as he has given my Valentine to me. Nobody in this whole wide world is luckier than I am, as I bask in the heady warmth of his love.....

My dearest Valentine, you have become my very life breath. Just as I would perish without oxygen, so too would I perish without my precious Valentine. As every cell and tissue in my body resonates with thoughts of you, my love for my Valentine emanates from the very core of my being as he is most special to me.

I am thankful to SITAGITA , for giving me the opportunity to tell you how special my husband…my Valentine is to me... as special as no one can be.... He has shown me the light on dark path and wiped my tears when they fill with tears and he cares for me till date I.e. 25 years of our marriage.

I can still recollect my first Valentine's Day very vividly, how my Valentine went out of his way to buy me a red rose and a beautiful card. He put aside all his other work and traveled 22 kilometers just to make that day special for me. Valentines Day may come very year but I will always have sweet memories of my first Valentine's Day even when my hair becomes grey. I love my Valentine for the way he puts in minute efforts to make every day of the year seem like a Valentine's Day not forgetting to say that he loves me. My next memorable Valentine's Day was when I found out I was expecting our first child. When I found out a few days before Valentine's Day I decided to wait until the 14th to share the news with my husband. I gave him a card and signed my name, then ‘Baby’. It caught him off guard but he was so excited with the news. It might not be memorable to most people but it was a very special day for us, as we were waiting for our first fruit of our love.

For me my Valentine is always special and shall remain so, whether Feb 14th arrives OR still far away, he is always close to me so close to me that, I feel his breath and hear his heartbeats. I could not have asked for a better husband or friend. Till date he can still make my stomach flip when I look into his eyes…oh those brown eyes….I love them….

My Valentine is my wonderful husband and father to our two sons. I don't tell him enough that I love him and appreciate all he does and he is being doing for us however my husband is really special to me and I pray that we continue to weather the storms together.

He is simply special to me because he is my biggest supporter, both financially and emotionally, and has always stood by my side like that for the past 25 years, my husband is indeed an amazing special Valentine to me.

Whether it was holding each other’s hands and walking towards nowhere, in heat,rain or chille weather, it never really mattered, as long as we are together. Or sipping coconut water from the same straw. Arguments, quarrels and heartaches…Oh Yeah, we do have them too. But don’t we love every bit of making up????? And the credit goes to you, my Valentino because you are definitely the most amazing SPECIAL Valentine to me
