I know the first time I found you wonderful....

While most of my constituents, the single and lonely, are dreading this "holiday", I'm rejoicing. Granted the reason why I'm so happy on this day has nothing to do with Valentine's Day, it does have to do with loved ones. A year ago today, the doctors proclaimed that my father was in remission. For months I was terrified, and as much as I like to think of myself as independent, I'm still "daddy's little girl" who was scared of his future. So this morning, instead of wishing him a Happy Valentine's Day, I wished him another year of good health, because no matter how old I get, my dad will always be my first Valentine.
