My 83-year-old father
is homebound because of a bone disease (plus emphysema)

He used to do Valentine's Day up big for my mom.

This year, he couldn't get out to get her anything, so he found a bag of Hershey's Kisses in the pantry, and spelled out "I LUV U" on the white bedspread in kisses (he said he couldn't fit Love or You)

I thought that was romantic.

1. Romantic and sweet...
And a wonderful memory for all.

Bless you for doing this, and blessings to your mom and dad, too.
