Barb,

Thank you for the Valentine's Day wish! And right back at you! And to everyone else here on DB!!

This Valentine's Day's marks the 20th anniversary of my dad passing away. I am probably the only one who will note that today as virtually my whole family is gone.

My dad always remembered EVERYONE and everything -- every holiday, birthday, anniversary etc. And I guess he passed that on to me -- along with just about every other wonderful trait I may possess.

So while it is a sad memory to have on Valentine's Day -- in some ways it is just perfect b/c no one was more loving, generous or kind than my dad.
