If you're lucky enough to have a loved one with you today, here's the best Valentine's Gift you can give: Write him or her a love letter. Describe the reasons you love this person, recall some special memories. Your loved one will treasure your letter always.
In May 2008, Robert and I were approaching our second wedding anniversary. (We were together 7 years, but married only 2.). We knew it would be the last we would spend together because of the progression of his cancer.
He asked, "What can I give you for our anniversary?"
"A love letter," I told him.
He did, and it's one of my most treasured gifts. I've read it over and over, and I'm reading it again today on Valentine's Day.

My vision blurs from the tears, but although I'm crying, I'm so happy that I have this beautiful, final message from my beloved.
