Dear Seth,

Happy Valentine's Day! I really hope that you had a great one. I think that mine was a lot better than last years. Dealing with Marc's death was a real blow to me. And even more so that his service was the day before Valentine's Day.

But you somehow just give me a little spark of hope that something better out there is waiting for me. And that love just isn't meant to be celebrated on one day in particular but 365 days a year, or 366 on a leap year :P. Love is meant to be in your heart and how you express it, not what tangible items you give to a person.

While flowers are nice, chocolate a little better they both soon disappear. But the everyday things you do tend to stay with a person for life. A hug, a smile, hand holding, talking for hours on end, a hug or just being there for them. That, to me, is what I love the most and how I like to express my feeling to the ones I love. Those are things that memories are made of.

p.s. I love you
