V-day used to be a good day for me (even though I haven't received a V-day gift for 25 years or so). It was my middle daughter's and my father's birthday. Every year on V-day since she was about 12, she gave me roses and thanked me for being her mother. She and her grandfather always had a good time on their birthday.
V-day has now become a difficult day for me to deal with. My middle daughter and my father died on the same day (02-21-06) twelve hours apart. She would be 26 today. I like being alone on V-day. There are so many happy memories of my daughter that float through my day. I'll go for a long walk in the snowy woods because that's something she enjoyed.

I wish everyone here a wonderful and happy V-day.
Sorry for your loss. Its nice to see you've found ways to honour the memories of the ones you love.
