Heart of Gold

Charlie came home today with flowers for me - he used his own money, asking Scott to stop at the store on the way home from church (Mary and I stayed home because she is sick), so he could get me something for Valentine's Day. It's things like this that make it clear to me that I can take no credit for how wonderful Charlie is - he is sweet and loving beyond measure. I am so grateful for young man he's becoming~
Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.~Ralph Waldo Emerson
