How do I feel about that? Pretty pleased, actually. šŸ˜ƒ See, 15 years ago next week, my mom called me up and asked me to come by her office when I got off work. There was someone she wanted me to meet. So I did. And there he was. I thought to myself "Now, thatā€™s what a MAN looks like. šŸ†’ " We had our first date that weekend. He came to my house, cooked me dinner (steak!). We decided to go to the movies. All the winter block-buster movies were out of the the theaters, so we ended up seeingā€¦_Groundhog Day._ Which neither of us completely loved or hated, but it was just so damned corny, and they played ā€œI Got You, Babeā€ so many times over the course of the movie, that we joked that it would be ā€œour song,ā€ and it has been. For 15 years. This morning, he woke up to find a Valentineā€™s card propped up on his coffee cup that said something corny like ā€œYouā€™ve got the honey, Iā€™ve got the bees; Iā€™ve got the mac and youā€™ve got the cheese; Youā€™ve got the hand and Iā€™ve got the gloveā€, and inside, ā€œHoney, weā€™ve got the love.ā€ And when you open it, it playsā€¦ ā€œIā€™ve Got You, Babe.ā€ šŸ˜ƒ He said it was the sweetest card heā€™d ever seen. ---

My son made ME cry this morning. Last night, I did everyoneā€™s valentine - even the dogā€™s. I slipped his (my sonā€™s) under his door right before I went to bed. This morning, he read it, and as I walked past his door while he was getting ready for school, I noticed him shoving it in a drawer with a whole bunch of other papers - I must have looked at him oddly or something, because he said, ā€œWhat? I save EVERY card and note you give me.ā€ He had almost 17 years worth of papers, notes, cards and stuff that Iā€™ve given him. He said he sometimes like to read them because they make him happy. He followed that up with, ā€œPlus Iā€™ll have them to remember you by when I put you in a home.ā€ Smart ass kid. But he SAVED all of them. From his Mommy. You have no idea how damn happy that makes me. šŸ˜ƒ ---

SHe filled a tin with notes to me that I could pull out and read if I got sad. They had sweet little thoughts on them. That made me cry. Nice story **Trouble** - he sounds like a sweetie! ---

I misread the OP the first time around and thought your husband was crying because you went on a date with _some other guy_ who cooked you steak, etc. ---

He was the electrician she wa working with to remodel the bank she worked in. She thought he was not only nice-looking, but that he had a great personality.
