BOYFRIEND'S VALENTINE ROSES GOT A JOYFUL SECOND BLOOM

DEAR ABBY: "Grinched in Iowa" (April 14) was upset that his
girlfriend gave his Valentine roses to a stranger after he
spent more than $82 on them. Several years ago, when my
father was ill with cancer, he sent a beautiful bouquet of
flowers to my mother. When I saw them, I commented on how
pretty they were and, half-jokingly, asked if they wanted to
make another person as happy as they had made my mom. I
explained that my friend Patty was having a hard time coping
with the fact her dad and mother-in-law both had cancer. My
parents said, "Take them!"

Patty burst into tears when she saw me arrive with the
flowers. I think "Grinched" should quit being such a grouch
and be thankful for having a compassionate, caring girlfriend.
-- SHELLEY IN MUSKEGON, MICH.

DEAR SHELLEY: Thank you for reminding me to "smell the
roses." While I sympathized, in part, with "Grinched,"
readers' responses heavily favored his girlfriend.
Read on:

DEAR ABBY: Whether that guy spent $8 or $82, the flowers
will die in a week. Sending flowers is an expression of love,
and it is the ACT that brings joy to the recipient. Whether
the bouquet or the memory of his generosity continues to
bring joy is immaterial. He should be thrilled to have a
girlfriend who is so full of love and joy she wanted to share
that feeling and bring the same happiness to another couple.

"Grinch's" girlfriend should now decide if she wants to be
with a guy who is more concerned about the money than the
sentiment.

DEAR ABBY: "Grinched's" girlfriend is too dumb to have
thought about what you suggested. ("She could have given
the stranger one or two of the roses ...") He should drop
her quicker than petals drop from a rose!
-- JON IN ST. PAUL, MINN.

DEAR ABBY: You should have set "Grinched" straight instead
of coddling him. If he had any brains he would have married
his girlfriend on the spot. Any woman who is so selfless she
would give her gift to another person in need is someone he
should hang onto and never let go. Perhaps he is too blind
and emotionally insecure to realize this loving woman would
treat HIM the same way.
-- RANDY IN TROY, MICH.

DEAR ABBY: Maybe she was trying to tell him she did not want
any roses. Could it be time for a ring?
-- JILL IN EUGENE, ORE.

DEAR ABBY: "Grinched's" gift did what it was supposed to do
-- show his girlfriend he cared. When the roses were passed
along to another person, his gift benefited three people
instead of just one. In this day and age, we need more kind-
ness.
-- LISA IN AKRON, OHIO

DEAR ABBY: The roses had already served their purpose. The
girlfriend was able to see how much he cared for her, as were
her co-workers. (Why else would he send them to her at work?)
Once she took them home, the roses would have sat in a vase
until it was time to throw them out. Instead, they brought
joy a second time, and she proved herself to be a compassion-
ate, sensitive person who knew how to embrace the true spirit
of Valentine's Day.
-- MAUREEN IN MANCHESTER, N.H.

DEAR ABBY: Roses: $82. Groceries: $37. A relationship with
someone who would reach out with concern to someone in need:
Priceless!
