21 years ago today my husband proposed marriage to me. He came bearing (no pun intended) these bears and perhaps some flowers - probably some flowers, but I don't remember the flowers; the bears I remember. He didn't give me a ring that night because he felt it was something I would want to pick out - and he was right. Over the years, gifts have been hit or miss - sometimes he gets it absolutely right - other times, err ... well - it's the thought that counts.
But when it really really matters - he never fails me,
and that is what makes it work.

I couldn't have said it better myself, Nicki! My husband's presents have ranged from the inspired to the "It's the thought that counts" variety. But always I have felt his immense love and kindness. And I agree with you about the ring. I also got to pick mine out and was very happy to have been given the choice. Happy Valentine's Day!
