Congrats to Kim and David—our Love Is on the Air Winners! They’re getting a sweet overnight getaway, dinner at Bow & Stern, and even a little Amazon shopping spree for any last‑minute Valentine’s Day touches, thanks to our friends at Walton Beverage!

Here is the sweet entry that melted our hearts:

“Love Our 40 years together. We were young and full of hope, and we had everything the world had to offer. Family played a big role in my life, and after a few years of marriage, we decided as a couple that we needed to move away to truly become one. We were young and deeply in love. We packed up our lives and moved to another province, stepping into the unknown, hand in hand. We learned of each other as every new couple does. We found a new church and leaned on our love for one another, trusting it to grow – and it did. Before we knew it, 10 years had passed. We became concerned because there were no children yet. We did everything we could to understand why. And learned that we were unable to have children, and so (my husband) loved me even more, filling that space with love.

We shared our lives in simple ways, metal detecting, hiking, and picnics—but it was often the quiet things that meant the most: a soft touch of the hand or a quick kiss, a whisper of “I love you.” Those gestures were enough to fill my whole heart. As time passed, it felt right to move back closer to family on the West Coast. The year we moved back, we found out a month later that we were pregnant. 8-10 weeks later, we lost the child. We grieved together and moved forward, trusting that there are reasons for everything. 30 yrs later, I still love his smile. I still love the way he reaches for my hand, that same special touch. I feel his silent prayers for me and his constant care, and as much happiness and love as he can give, and I, always the doting wife, making sure he feels as much love as I can give. Communicating played a big part in our life together. Our 40-year marriage is coming up this March. With God before us and living in His will, we will continue to share what is truly special, always meeting each other’s needs through this life together. Just you, me and God! Happy Valentine’s Day, Husband.”

Congratulations Kim and David! Wishing you a very lovely Valentine’s Day weekend, courtesy of our friends at Walton Beverage!
