Sounds wonderful Heywyre! Enjoy those moments, give them the same due we give the ugly ones! I too kept my celebrations simple this year. I thought of giving nothing (like my W got me) but then felt it was as much a family thing in our house as a couple thing so I did what little I could do ( and I mean little ) to mark the day. Hey, as long as she doesn't give me grief I'll consider it a great day! Actually, I think the fact that she is still my W made me feel I should do something, it's respectful and I always want to be that way regardless of her actions, they are between herself and her conscience, not me. Hey, what's this crap your H is shooting you about women only buying stuff for VD? I thought it was the other way round!
