Happy Valentines Days

I wish everyone Valentines Days Good wishes (yes I mean days).  A time to give little tokens to friends, family, and all love ones. I have fond memories of my father who always gave me a card and candy every valentines day & after he died 12 years ago I still remember him every year and smile thinking of all the good memories of him. I still have most of those cards he gave me over the 20 years I knew him.  I thought the first valentines day after he was gone would have been tough but as I sat in my one bedroom house far from home at college surrounded by boxes a friend showed  up at my door  with a card and some candy.  That friend may have not known my father or about our tradition but then I realized that I would still love the this holiday and I will always remember my farther and those that pass along our lives to bring us a smile.
