Today is Valentine’s Day. The day for those people who really love and care about each other.
My very logical side tells that such a day is nonsense as when you really love each other, there is no special day needed. But my more romantic part admits that such a day is wonderful to express your feelings even a bit more.
But what if your loved one is for her work somewhere far away in Southern Europe? You look for other options to talk with each other. As I write this Marion and I are talking with each other through Skype. It is good that such things as Skype exist, so that when you even far from each other you can see each other and talk with other real time. We often use Skype.
It is good to see her face and see how she enjoys a glass of wine as we speak. To see her laugh about the little jokes we make. Even to see her stick out her tongue as I tease her a bit.
I remember well that there was this moment in my life that I had decided that there was no room in my life anymore for any kind of relation. I had more then enough of it all. No one would make such mess of my life again. No more hurting, no more pain. Life would be about myself.
Then the day came this lovely lady walked into my life. And step by step she took her place in my existence. And even though it took a long time before we openly admitted our feeling for each other, I am convinced that the very first day we met the base was set for what would grown into our love for each other. And which all leaded to that wonderful Christmas Evening now already several years ago…
And of course this woman was Marion!
If you would ask me why I love Marion so much, I could mention many reasons, but it would still not say all…
It is her sweet, gentle and caring personality that makes me feel so good. But it is also her determination and purposeful way of handling important matters.
It is the lady she can be. Well dressed… skirts, stockings and high heels. Well mannered and intelligent. But at the same time she is the “brat” that I am chasing through my house because she was teasing me.
It is also the woman who loves good dinners at classy restaurants. But it is also her who can enjoy fish and chips.
It are the common interests and the eager to learn and experience new things.
It is her wonderful being open minded with almost never being ashamed of something.
It is all that and yet so much more than that.
Maybe it is because we basically see each other only during the weekends that makes us so happy when we see each other. Maybe it our desire to share things with each other. Maybe… No not maybe! There are so many wonderful and good things to mention about her.
Is it weird that I love this woman so much? Let me answer that for you: No, it is not…
And tomorrow when you arrive here at my apartment Marion, there will be a Valentine’s present waiting for you 🙂
