The "Thought"

I have been married for 24 years. Our first Valentines Day married my husband came home to his favorite meal, gift and (dressed-for-the-part ) wife. Upon arrival said husband realized his mistake and told me and I quote, " I have been thinking about this day for a while and I decided to get you your favorite Tulips instead of Roses, but I forgot today was the day, so since it's "THE THOUGHT" that counts".......Well that was the end of it. I let him off the hood and we continued with Valentines Day. No Flowers, No appology, No make up gift, But dog gone it....I got the thought. Now every year I continue to get "THE THOUGHT". I wonder now if I made a mistake being so forgiving way back then????? NAH.
