Where you are I absolutely agree with your stance.

Remember the Valentine's card fiasco? Good thing you don't have that looming.

I think these life events can be tricky. When I was more in a piecing mode, I struggled, but I think I steered the correct course. Of course, I did make a blunder.

Valentines, birthdays, anniversaries. Tricky. I think remember is nice and appropriate.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
