Valentine's Day

Well...here we go again. Valentine's Day. For many years after my divorce I grew to hate this holiday. I was usually single when it came around and was probably jealous of all the "lovers" out there having such a nice time going out to dinner, exchanging thoughtful gifts, and just generally being in love. Then Angelina came into my life a few years ago, just before Valentine's Day. Our first Valentine's Day was so nice! I drove up to Colby to see her and take her to see the move "Hitch". We just had such a nice time and I was so happy to finally be able to be with someone I loved on this holiday! And the following two Valentine's Days were also pretty good as far as I can remember, but not as memorable as the first. Now, here I sit...alone again. Back to hating Valentine's Day. I guess when I was younger it was always fun exchanging cards with all your friends and classmates. Too bad so many Valentine's Days have gone wasted since then. But then, I never thought I'd still be a single father at the age of 43.

Hey bro! I don't know if this helps, but I know alot (and I mean ALOT) of people that are single and in their 40s. It's unfortunately extremely common. So many people these days find their real true love - later in their life. I believe this will be true for you Alex! She's still out there - she's just being coy :) You have alot more Valentines Days ahead of you to celebrate!
Lot's of love to you from me!
