I had to resurrect this thread, as something occured to me last night...

We did not do anything for V'alentines day except have my mom over for dinner as she was alone. We did not exchange presents or anything--we do things for each other on a daily basis, spend alot of time together, and have a loving relationship, but my DH just doesn't do special occasions. It used to bother me alot, but after 16 years, it is just normal for us.

BUT, at 11:00 last night, my veterinarian husband stripped down to his t shirt in our barn (get your mind out of the gutter...!!) in 5 degree temps, and did a rectal exam on my really old pony, released gas from his belly with a needle (really!!) tubed him with water and literally saved his life. He never complained or crabbed - he did it because it was the right thing to do for this creature that I love....

Can you top that for a present????
