❤️A note from our founder this Valentine’s Day ❤️
My husband Terry was born on Valentine’s Day.
For 33 years we’ve celebrated love and his birthday on the same day.
This year looks very different.
Last week he had a major stroke. He is in hospital. Everything changed.
When you’ve loved someone for 33 years, it isn’t about romance, although that’s still there. It isn’t about what you get. It’s about what you give. It’s about the commitment you made a long time ago, a commitment that helps you both grow every single day.
I am missing the simple daily routines we did together. The wordless company we shared. The great conversations. The laughs. The silly things that I would get irritated by now seem to be the most lovable traits. I would give anything to experience them again exactly as they were.
Love isn’t a highlight reel of your best times. It’s a daily practice under all conditions. Loving someone is the reward in and of itself.
I am sharing this in the hope this might be a gentle reminder to find every second with anyone that you love to be the most precious second in the entire world. You don’t know how long you have with them. Treasure them.
Happy birthday Terry. A hundred or more friends around the world will be sending you their love and heartfelt wishes for full recovery. You are deeply loved. And you are integral and at the heart of our FG community.
And I am here with you every single step of the way. Loving you as fiercely as ever.
Always. ❤️
