Love notes

Thanks DanniRae I thought that's what I had done. Must be having one of those fingers faster than brain days.

Lovely thread? and GN need more of them!
Lord Lemongrove has many sterling virtues but leaving love notes dotted around isn’t one of them.However, he’s marvellous when I’m not feeling well and is always supportive and loyal in all things.Now and again he surprises me with a small gift for no reason, and is generally very caring.

I’ve never had one of those.
What dh did do, though, a few years ago now, was surprise me with a big bouquet of flowers. Since it wasn’t my birthday or Valentine’s Day (the only times I ever get any) I was nonplussed.

He said, ‘It’s exactly 50 years to the day since we met.’

In the nicest possible way, I was blown over, Although I remembered the occasion very well, I wouldn’t even have known what month it was, let alone the day!

(I really shouldn’t moan about his explosive sneezes any more, should I? ?)

The thread where you told us about your old man’s explosive sneezes was a classic.?

Aaaw that's so sweet! See he has got a soft centre. Hope you're feeling better now.

My husband did long night shifts at work and I would leave for work before he got home, and I'd get home after he had left for work. We would always leave notes for each other.

Yes!! In my lunch box for work quite recently. He did this for a long time, but stopped recently. Instead he texted me some beautiful poems and verse. Very thoughtful.

Yes, thank you. Seem to get less migraines now I am in my sixties. Such a waste of a day

Muse, my husband did something very similar recently. He's thinking of carving our initials! He's done so many thoughtful things over the years and helps me a great deal. Lucky me.

No, OH doesn't do notes, poems, nothing remotely soppy but he does do kindness on a regular daily basis. He's always brought me tea in the morning, waits until he knows I'm awake and comes up with the tray. He just quietly does things that he knows I will appreciate, is generous with both me and our daughter (and his step daughter too) and is just a thoroughly nice, really kind person.

I still have letters and notes from when we first met. Hubbie used to leave notes in the tea caddy for me to find in the morning as I was always up first. I also got birthday, anniversary and Xmas cards with lovely words and messages from him. He wasn't romantic and could be a bit lacking with affection so these made up for it. So glad I kept them all now he has died.

Only notes we ever left each other were appointments or information e.g. gone to doctors back in an hour, or called gas engineer as boiler packed up. Will be here this pm.
Never had love notes but did get a few letters when he worked away for a month

Mr R went shopping yesterday - I usually go too but still not feeling up to it - when he returned we were unpacking the bags and he said "I bought something for you." "Oh, good," thought I, expecting some chocolates or something similar. I must confess to being a little disappointed when he handed me a bag of radishes! Oh well it's the thought that counts and I hadn't been able to get any lately.......

Thank you Artaylar. It all happened a long time ago, and I don't have an unhappy life. More a life with a bit missing. ? and ? much appreciated

No love notes here either but Mr S is thoughtful in other ways. I have been under the weather and not much appetite so today he bought a piece of smoked haddock to tempt me to eat. All loving, thoughtful gestures are appreciated by all of us I think when we read some threads on here about how badly some partners are treated.

Ps he will be cooking the fish as well

My husband is not romantic but I was ill for a couple of years and he looked after me, even coming to the hospital with me.

As I recovered he devised an exercise program to get me fit (he was in the forces for 25 years!) and then supervised my exercise.

In February 2007 my husband sent me my first Valentines card in 34 years of marriage. I held on to it of course. Unfortunately he died suddenly only 5 months later . He was only 57 and left me a widow at 54 and I’m glad I kept that card

Only when he was a student many years ago. He always promised to write a romantic poem but never has. He always remembers birthdays and anniversaries and I get lovely presents and cards.
Once had a good laugh with others when a colleague nearly choked on a sani made by the other half and a little note was in which they did not know about until it was in their mouth, truthfully.

My telly don't write me notes it's my only company

Same here humduh ?

My husband once told me to go upstairs and look out of the back window. He had been mowing the lawn & had manage to write "I love you" in large letters in the grass. He has his romantic moments and still after 47 years he's the light of my life.

TizLiz,

That's wonderful! Accept it for what it is & be thankful he was there to help!
