catfan 14,793 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Don't forget lads tomorrow is the day. Make sure you get the lady in your life a pressie, be it chocolates, flowers or perfume etc. Show her she's special, for one day anyway ! I'll be taking Mrs Catfan to the Lime Kiln for a Hobgoblin transfusion later ! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Since my partner took her own life just two years ago in early February, St. Valentine's Day has become a day that I'd rather pass quickly. Unfortunately, there is always the other side of the coin for so many people with all these landmark days and holidays. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 So sorry for your sadness Stu, I do remember, and I can understand how you must feel now about St Valentines day. I sadly lost my sister two days ago and in a way tomorrow will help in a different way to lighten my heart a little. These days, have so many different meanings depending on your circumstances, and I hope you find a way to make the day pass easier for you Stu. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Sorry about the hardness of the day for you, Stu. It is tough for those of us who have lost a partner. Certain days can be especially difficult. Hang in there and treat yourself to a gift anyway. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Those two years seem to have passed so quickly, Stu. People who lose a loved one will always have the memories and the sorrow in their heart but we learn to live with it. When we lose an elderly parent it's expected but when it's our partner or child then it's so much harder to accept. On days like St. Valentines day and Christmas it just makes things worse. But, life goes on and you just have to get on with it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yes, thanks Michael (and Loppy and all). As I read once, you just have to learn to carry these things. There is little other choice. I went to Southwell today to go the market and do a little shopping and a mooch around for a bit. It was something Sue and I would do frequently on a Saturday afternoon so it felt odd and a bit strange but I always said I'd try to never have any 'no-go' zones, especially somewhere like Southwell where I love. Life goes on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Some people look upon St. Valentines day as money making and a complete waste of time. Well, I don't and that's why I've got some treats for my wife tomorrow. I've seen what she's bought me but I won't let on that I've seen it. It's a box of my favourite Chocolate Brazils. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 My daughter brought me a box from Hotel Chocolat for Valentine's tonight and said 'well I know you won't get anything from anyone else'. Way to rub it in girl! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
