WHAT!!! I WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE ONES I LOVE.
I know what a weird post, but that's about how I feel this Valentines day. Weird, lonely, depressed, however I know I am loved and I have love to give & share!

I know it's hard after your loss to face these special days but glad you have your children and grandchildren. Wonderful shot of the dog.
I'm sorry you were feeling so lonely and depressed on Valentines Day. Perhaps next year will be a better one.
