1. A husband's eternal gift

Every Valentine's Day, John gave Sue a bouquet of flowers and a note that always said the same five words: "My love for you grows." He did this for all the 46 years they were married.

But when a bouquet arrived with a note from John, Sue, heartbroken and angry, called the florist to report the cruel trick. But the florist assured the widow it wasn't a mistake.

When she hung up the phone, she read the attached card that said (grab your tissue): "My love for you is eternal."
