Flowery words might not come naturally to my husband, but Bob always picks the perfect card to tell me how he feels. A few years ago, however, health issues prevented him from getting to the store before Valentine’s Day. “I’m sorry,” he said on the fourteenth. “I’m empty-handed this year.”

Of course I understood. I spent the day organizing a closet. When I reached up to clean the top shelf I noticed something red. An old valentine card. One Bob had given me before we were married.

I reread it after more than 50 years. It struck me that Bob and I had been in love for most of our lives! Maybe I’d gotten a different card from my husband every year, but our love remained the same and was everlasting.

Bob always chose the right card. This year an angel chose it for him.
