Joann's Black Friday

Let me start out by saying that I did not go this year. About 12 years ago I asked my DH to go with me. It took a lot of convincing and bribing but he went. Flannel was $0.99 and I needed several yards for Christmas gift projects. DH stood in the cutting line while I picked out my fabric. He got so much attention from the other ladies in line, telling him how great he was and how they wish their husbands would do the same.

The next year, Joann's had the same sale and he asked me if I wanted to go again! We skipped that year but went a total of 3 times before he got sick. He passed away 7 years ago yesterday at only 55 years old. I smile whenever I think of Black Friday at Joann's. :)

I'm glad your memories are bringing you joy today. He sounds like a jewel of a guy.

What a wonderful memory to have of your DH. I'm glad you are smiling too. I'm sure he would have wanted that for you to remember the good times.
Hugs,

What a sweet memory!

That IS a great Black Friday memory. I'm sure you have many others; God bless.

What a wonderful memory you have of your DH, and so very happy you have it! Made me smile for you :D Hugs!

Sometimes the simplest memories are the sweetest. Thanks for sharing this story about your dear husband.

He sounds like a great one. Its good to enjoy fond memories of those we love.

Thank you for sharing this, I gave me the most tender feelings for my own sweetheart. This brought a smile. Hugs to you.

I think my DH is a gem but not sure he'd stand in line at JA's - you had a special 'gem' and he left you with special memories - God Bless! "B"

What a great memory of love he left you with.

Oh, so sweet a story - turning what could have been a nightmare of a trip to Joann's into a happy memory.

What a beautiful memory you have of your husband. So glad that it brings a smile to your heart. It is always the little moments that bring us the most joy. Hugs to you from California.

What a wonderful guy. I know you must miss him every single day. I'm so sorry he died and left you at such a young age. This hits close to home for me having two good friends lose their husbands at 39 and 40. All I can say to our friends here is cherish your loved ones and never take them for granted. One never knows what lies ahead.

He sounds like he was such a sweet guy. I'm sorry for your loss.

That is a great memory of something fun that you and your husband shared. Thanks for sharing it with us. :)
