My grandfather gave my grandmother a box every year for Christmas and when asked why he bought those instead of more expensive chocolates he would reply that he had been giving them to her since they were first courting when they were all he could afford. Even though he could now afford others she said these are still her favorites, so he continued to get them for her. With the cherries he also gave her two dozen long stem red roses, which he said he couldn’t have given her in the early years.
I buy a box every year in her memory. :)
I apologize for the late response. I think that is a wonderful story & memory. I love how you keep that memory going by buying a box once a year. Thank you for sharing such a sweet story.
