(Happy) Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day.  I've already said it once today and I'm sure I will be saying it many more times before the day is done.  It *is* Valentine's Day, but mine is not a Happy one.  Yes, I will go through the motions of exchanging cards, giving trinkets to the children and helping with elementary school festivities.  I will put on my best Valentine's Day face and assume that no one will notice that the Happy is missing.  I will honestly wish everyone I see a Happy Valentine's Day but I know that every time I hear that same wish bestowed upon me, it will remind me that mine is not a Happy Valentine's Day.  Indeed I wonder whether any of my days will ever be happy again.
