Ah, another crapy holiday during which people get depressed because they've got no one to celebrate with.
OR
Ah, another beautiful recognition of the love that we have in our hearts and share with each other.
Whatever your perspective, I hope you've had a good day, and will have a good night. Treat yourself tonight -- maybe not with a diamond, but ... with ice cream? Right, Susan?

Dear Liz,
A belated Happy Valentine’s Day to you too as I also read of your current down cycle.
I do hope this period is brief and your recovery comes quickly followed with a very, very lengthy remission.
I would also hope that no one has to endure these challenges without having someone caring and to be able to reach out to. Whether ice cream, diamonds or whatever the warmth and caring of a loved one and/or friend is truly immeasurable wealth.
Warmly,
Herb
