Valentine’s Day

I can now say I’ve seen quite different sides of Valentine’s Day.  I’ve seen two versions of the bad and the only version of the very very good. 

The original bad was the never having had someone and never having been close to on this holiday.  During those Valentine’s Days my mind was filled with wishing I could, wishing there was just someone that would tell me they loved me that day and make me a hand made card and to go out to dinner with.  Those were the days that made me dislike this holiday.

Then there was an even worse bad: being close.  Having a relationship end in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day.  That made Valentine’s Day a day of “i was so damn close to what i wanted,” a day of we should be we could be.  Valentine’s Day seemed to be something that was just meant to make people sad.  And it made it worse to see the shows where everything worked out in the end for Amanda Bynes or whoever else.  That made me hate Valentine’s Day.

But now I am and always will be a fan of Valentine’s Day after yesterday and thanks to a love I know will last me to the next Valentine’s Day and the next and the next forever long.  I had a day of a dinner at Applebees, of special notes and presents like a very tasty cookie cake, of kisses and hugs, and of true I love you’s.  I shared this Valentine’s Day with someone who can make me happier than anything, someone I can’t live without, someone who I’m so thankful to have, someone who I’ve made powerful moments and powerful strength with, someone who I Love and will always Love. This Valentine’s Day I was happy.  So thank you Laura.
