You sound confident, and optimistic, and why shouldn't you be. You have been through a lot, and yet still able to put on a good face! You sound like a self-reliant, strong woman, and I admire that.
To me, Valentine's Day is just a made-up celebration, and I don't go in for it in a big way - you either have romance in your life or not. One day out of the year isn't going to make a huge amount of difference - to me, anyway. We're just taking our D13 (the last kid at home) out to dinner. Although, I did give H a card and box of chocolates which he seemed to appreciate. I do understand, however, that it can sting when one sees the romance in other couples and it just heightens one's own lack thereof. My consolation is that my H has never really been romantic - barely, on our wedding day.
Enjoy what's left of V day!
