I write this article because it reminds me of Valentines Day 2004.
I had lived in Guyana, South America for 10 years and decided to go back home to the USA to see my family after so many years and to petition for my wife to get a Visa, so she could come and live in America.
I arrived in Arizona in June 2003 and stayed with my sister and her husband since she insisted I should.
Since my wife was overseas and I had already sent her a gift in advance, I thought to myself I should stop at the Florist and buy my sister a Dozen Red Roses as I knew her husband never buys her gifts.
When I arrive home she went crazy about the flowers and looked at her husband and told him
"So this is why you only gave me a candy bar for Valentines Day, You must have called my brother and told him to pick up the Roses for me" Now I got Chocolates and Flowers !
He looked at me and I said nothing so he accepted it as a gift from me for saving his life and said " Yes I called him today"
My Sister was so happy because before I returned to the USA her husband never ever remembered Valentines day.
I of course never told her otherwise.
One day about 6 months later she told me she knew the Roses were from me, but wanted to see if her husband would become more considerate.
She said it was the first time anyone has bought her flowers for the whole 10 years I was gone so it wasn't hard to figure out that it was me and my ideal to buy them.
Lesson to all inconsiderate husbands, Please remember no matter how long you are married, Your wife does expect you to remember her on that special day for lovers.
If you forget for so many years, do not take credit for someone elses love.
My sister never told her husband that she knew he lied. (this is a true story) He never changed and I guess he never will. Oh, and they are still married!
