Thanks for the look back at the reality of Valentines Day, some sighs, some chuckles. A good start for the day.

Wonderful reflection of your experience during that time! Also, a reality check for some of us who don't realize how fortunate we are!

I love the layers of this story, Robert. Thank you for taking us along on the ride that challenges us to think about Valentines Day through very different experiences and very different eyes.

A world so close to us yet so far, far removed from us, and the commercialized way many of us celebrate the day. Moving words...thank you!
