You're probably right about the V-Day thing, Karma. In my opinion, it just strikes me as something any parent would try to instill in their children about showing affection to people they love. I think it's more pronounced for certain parents who are going through a separation or divorce to vicariously teach their kids to show love, because the parent didn't receive that kind of love themselves. I'm guilty of doing it, because I've made it a point to teach my son how to properly love and respect any person you love, more so on Valentine's. So it's just interesting to me that your wife, probably knowing that you and your daughter have a 'daddy's girl' bond, didn't see it fit to call, send a little hand-made valentine or something.
