God, but this day sucks. What's the Valentine's Day version of "Bah, humbug"?

Thinking of you today, John and your beautiful Kit and hoping you find some peace in a special memory.
((((((((((John & Kit Forever))))))))))
Love,

Thinking of you and your Kit.
Much love.

Happy Valentine's Day, John - and Happy Valentine's Day to all of us who are without are most beloveds this day.
I guess we will just have to settle for being each other's Valentines. It's not what our hearts most desire, but it's not too shabby.
Love to all!

Yes, Sarah, not too shabby at all! ;-)
Thanks to all of you for the kind words. Yesterday wasn't one of my better days. All of the hype surrounding the day didn't help much either. I spent part of yesterday reading over and over the card Kit gave me last year, on what turned out to be our last Valentine's Day together. She always chose the most appropriate cards. Even as sick as she was this time last year she still found time to select a card that said exactly what she wanted to say. Two stanzas stand out now:
I'm glad I have you
To dry my tears
To hear my thoughts
And calm my fears
I'm glad I have you
To help me cope
To share your strength
and help me cope
Even now I can't read that without tears starting to flow. This was just after she stopped chemo, after the cancer clinic told us that treatments were no longer slowing the disease. Less than two months later she was gone.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I can imagine it did bring tears to your eyes, but how great - for you and for your wife - that you had such a wonderful love.

After the passage of a few days and a weekend spent with friends rather than my own thoughts and I'm definitely feeling better. As tough as they were, those days last week also feel like a form of catharsis and by letting those feelings out I am able to go on. I think another reason I'm more upbeat today is because Kit came to me in a dream this morning. Was my imagination at work here or was it a message? I don't know, and the darned cat woke me before it finished, but the dream is still vivid in my mind as I type this.
