Feb 14th has been marked as a day we celebrate love. My daughters and I spent the day together. Before going to my sisters I gave the girls their Valentine's Day gift. What fun! My sister took pictures of my little family and we enjoyed a delicious meal Hope prepared for all of us. It really was a day spent with those I love and cherish. After desert we gave each other our gifts and cards. My sister gave me the funniest card... and this is what she wrote: "Just because its Valentine's Day doesn't mean you can hug on me all day! Let's try something new! I call it a "virtual hug"...see? I'm giving you one right now! And you can have one whenever you want! Love sister"
After hearing from some of my friends I found out what others had done that day. Some spent their day at a mansion where they got married, another spent her first Valentine's Day with her hubby wine tasting and enjoying a lovely dinner. A co-worker went to lunch with her husband and daughter. A neighbor of someone I know is spending his last Valentines Day with his dying wife.
It doesn't matter how you spend the day all that matters is that you fill it with those you love. I know plenty of people who hate this holiday. They think its commercialized and just a bunch of propaganda. But not really. All year long we try to surround ourselves with the ones we love. So what's bad about taking one day out of the year to celebrate the love we have for our spouse, children, parents & friends? I see no harm in that.
Doesn't matter how you spell LOVE out. In every language love is the universal emotion we all enjoy having in our lives.
