Hugs for Someone in Need on Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2012 | Author Debbie

Valentine’s Day is a wonderful day for most, but a very sad and lonely day for some. Take a moment and think of the people you know, and chances are, someone’s Valentine’s Day is not worth celebrating. Many hearts are recovering from broken relationships. Some are grieving the loss of a loved one who shared in the celebration of this day just a year ago. There are parents who routinely gave their child Valentine’s Day candy, only to wish they were here today to enjoy it.

This morning, I called my 91-year-old Grandmother. Last night, she returned home after being in the hospital due to a “mini stroke”. My Grandfather passed away many years ago, and I know this is a lonely day for her. On top of that, she is not feeling well, and is completely alone.

Grandma just sounded weary, and I assumed it was due to her illness. I instructed her to take it easy, and get some rest. She said, “Yes, I know. Everyone is telling me that. But, all I want to do is go to the Singles Valentine’s Day party at my church tonight”.

My grandmother is such an inspiration to me. Her husband passed away many years ago. She has been struggling with illness this past year. She still lives alone in her condo and drives to Walmart on a daily basis. And, yes, she wanted to go “party” tonight. In my opinion, her Valentine’s Day is NOT a day for celebration.

However, my Grandmother is celebrating. She entered the hospital on Friday night in an ambulance, unresponsive to all her the medical attention, and the prognosis was not good. Her entire church and family prayed consistently for her. Miraculously, she is HOME for Valentine’s Day!

When I concluded my conversation with my grandmother, she was so thankful and felt incredibly blessed to be living today. Her Valentine’s Day ended up being a cause for celebration.

I didn’t know that I needed it, but she sent me a “hug” today. An incredibly special “Valentine’s Day Hug”.
