You did not not get a valentine from me this year.
No one got a valentine from me this year. It wasn’t just you.
I know. I know. I ALWAYS send valentines.
But this year I did not. And I am probably more saddened by that than you are. Not to keep the focus on me or anything.
It’s really not because I wasn’t feeling it. In spite of all the reasons I have to be anti-Valentine’s this year, I did want and intend to mail my annual, hand-made valentines. Especially because I feel so grateful for all the love and support that has been focused on me these past few months.
Nope. I am not feeling particularly anti-Valentine’s. I even convinced one naysayer to switch to pro-Valentine’s.
But it is true that I am broken-hearted, and it’s true that that has me moving a little slow sometimes, especially in the expression-of-love department. And I just didn’t get my valentines designed and made in time to get them mailed to you.
So, it’s not that I don’t love you, and it’s not that I didn’t mail you a beautiful paper message of affection, it’s just that I didn’t create valentines at all this year.
But I promise I love you. And I suspect I will make it up to you somehow in the year to come.
