For me Valentine’s Day is not a day for lovers – it is the day I celebrate my love with others.
Before I had kids I regarded the day as one of romance and all the Hallmark stuff. When Nolan and Sam were old enough I would have them make Valentine cards or projects to give to their grandparents and godmothers. I like giving out stickers and candy to my patients at the office. In their younger ages my boys got cute cards with candy wishing them a fun day from mommy and daddy.
In the teenage years the cards get a little serious and I share with them how much I love them and wish them joy and happiness.
It made me smile when we went through Nolan’s belongings and we found he kept a few of those Valentine’s Day cards.
During this hard month of February this is one day I focus on love and I feel happy. The Beatles say it perfectly- “all you need is love.”
And you have it. Always . All the time.
I focus on the divine love that we all have. It unites us. 
So Happy Valentine’s Day from me.
I love you. 
The Grieving Doctor Mom 
I love those thoughts … I miss my beloved husband on this day but thank God for my children and grandchildren … may God be with you in your grief

I enjoy all your writings and I’m really Big on pictures so I’m observant. Like the ones you pick often, do find yourself Taking Time in the Selection? It usually takes me a bit to find what I want as the picture?

yes – I like to have photos with my posts. I kind of pick them while I am writing. Or I see a photo and put it in my media file for later. Please keep writing. I love reading your blog too. Peace and love
