LOVE

Let me not confuse the purpose of this post to mean that I view Valentine's Day as a significant occasion where I should excercise the love I feel for the people closest to me. I think that should happen EVERY day. But for as long as I can remember, Valentine's Day has been synonymous with Love. And for as far back as I can recall, and as distant as I can imagine into the future, Love has always been, and will always be synonymous with my mom. So you can imagine why one might remind me of the other. I love my mom every day. I think about her, cherish her, and miss her EVERY day. But in the tradition of Valentine's Day, I just felt like sharing it with whoever cares to see, since my mom truly personified the meaning of the word LOVE.
