a valentine for thought

after marilyn monroe's death, former husband joe dimaggio (1914-1999) continued to send flowers to her grave every day for the rest of his life.
the first time i heard about this i thought that small action revealed so much without even saying a single word.
she passed away in 1962...that's about flowers 365 days a year, for 37 years. even though they divorced and she remarried (not sure if he remarried) and they went on with their lives, they remained close friends and she held a place in his heart. forever.
