This is from Valentine’s Day 2011.
I’m not posting it because it’s a good picture of me (obviously), but it’s the only one I have from this day. And that Valentine’s Day was kind of a big deal.
It was the day before my daughter’s first (but not her last) open heart surgery.
This was a day full of emotions. Not the typical feelings this “Hallmark holiday” may bring up, though. Not at all. This day was full of everything else.
