A Valentine for my children…
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together … there is something you must always remember.
“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
“But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart … I’ll always be with you.”
— Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh (A.A. Milne)

It is Valentine’s Day. My wife, Brenda, and I have plans to begin our evening with a quiet candlelight dinner. We will share with each other those special thoughts, those heartfelt feelings, and speak of things that warm our hearts and souls.
We will talk about the good times. We will easily remember our trip to Harper’s Ferry when we walked for an hour in the rain, and bought ice cream in the little country store. We might speak of our night on Broadway in New York City on New Year’s Eve, when we ate at the little neighborhood delicatessen.

Broken Together: As I was delivering singing Valentines yesterday, I was traveling in Augusta County and flipping through radio stations. This song came on and as I listened, I decided I needed to pull off on the country road and really listen. I did … then I had a good cry, blew my nose, and went back to singing love songs.
This day is always a hard one when you don’t have a valentine. Then again, I believe when you are with the right person, every day could feel like a special day if you let it. This is such a beautiful, beautiful song … “maybe you and I were never meant to be complete, but could we just be broken together?” I know I’ll never be fully complete on this side of heaven, but I hope in time I will find someone willing to be broken together with me. There’s so much life to be lived.
In the meantime, I will stay busy singing for my love bird friends who remind me that there is love, and second chances.
