Ignoring the date completely was probably appropriate the last 2/3 years, now it seems like it has the potential to cause more emotional rifts.
Was thinking this, too.
I think I'll go shopping for a card, see if I can find the "perfect" one. I've bought blank ones before where I wrote down something more personal for him, but I don't know if I have it in me for that this time. I'll see, and I might just go ahead and get him a little gift to go with the card.
Like I said, I don't expect anything from him. He's working everyday this week including all weekend, so I know he won't have any time to get or do anything for me. If he says he's sorry (about not getting me anything), I will let him know that I understand how busy he has been.
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. ~ Joseph Campbell
