Into the wee hours of morning, she came into the great room to show me her handiwork. From a sleepy state, I saw what looked like a deck of cards. They were secured by two binder rings at the very top of the deck. The front card was beautifully decorated and stickered with the words "52 Reasons Why I Love You"--an early Valentine and anniversary gift for her boyfriend of nearly two years.
I complimented her on her thoughtfulness and creativity. No, I wasn't permitted to look through the cards and have to admit I'm damn curious as to what she wrote on the cards. However, I also have to admit that my nineteen year old girl has earned her right to some privacy.
Next morning I got up and went to work. Kelly was still sleeping and would be off to Boiling Springs to see her boyfriend Zack at Garner Webb. He had come so many times to visit her at Carolina and so it was her turn to make the drive to see him.
I admire their dedication and the "52 Reasons" for sure.
That night I started thinking about me and my husband and I told him about the "52 Reasons" deck of cards.
We both half-joked that we'd have a hard time coming up with that many reasons!
Then it crossed my mind that maybe something wasn't right. Why would we joke about not being able to come up with reasons why we love each other? Not good.
