Valentine Shmalentine

Valentines day is a joke I learnt the hard way as a bloke. My last valentines gift on that day, a divorce order delivered, yay, till now nothing more funny, no more chocolates and a cute bunny, I can no longer celebrate this ritual, as for most this is habitual.

That was indeed awful for you. I understand as I had some such surprises too in life for other issues. But hurts are hurts. I celebrate Valentine in family for my kids to remember that parents love them, always and ever! Congrats. :)
