My Favorite Valentines' Day

Jason was one of the sweetest, most thoughtful and creative guys in the world. He always came up with fun creative ways to surprise and pamper me. This morning, I was thinking about my favorite Valentines' Day.

The year we were dating, Jason invited me to his apartment after work. I really had no idea what to expect because when Jason had asked me what I wanted to do for Valentines' Day, I'd told him that I wanted to go see Fiddler on the Roof at the local playhouse. He said he thought that would be fun, but he didn't have a lot of money because he had recently had some major car repairs (aka...he was saving for an engagement ring).

When I arrived at his apartment I discovered a vase with a rose surrounded by candles on the front porch. Next to the vase sat a card. Inside the card was a poem that Jason had written for me about how hearts change when a boy meets a girl. At the end of the poem there was a note telling to me knock once and then enter.

When I open the door, I discovered Jason sitting on top of the kitchen cabinets and the wall between the living room and the kitchen. Wearing overalls and a crazy hat with a wig, he was trying to play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star on our friend's kid's violin. It was absolutely ridiculous! He told me he was my "Fiddler on the Cabinets!"

After I finished laughing at him, he climbed down and we watched the Fiddler on the Roof movie he'd rented. Very creative and fun! Way more memorable than going to the real show.
