Happy Hearts Day

Yup, that's a photo of Joe and little bro (who just so happens to be a Valentine's day baby).
~~~~~
Just wanted to spread some love today and let you know that...

YOU are beautiful.
YOU are special.
God loves YOU. (And...I probably do too. :P)

Here's a little something by Charles M. Schulz

Love is holding hands.
Love is mussing up someone’s hair.
Love is loaning your best comic magazines.
Love is having a special song.
Love is tickling.
Love is a valentine with lace all around the edges.
Love is wishing you had nerve enough to go over and talk with that little girl with the red hair.
Love is letting him win even though you know you could slaughter him.
Love is sharing your popcorn.
Love is hating to say good-bye.
Love is walking hand-in-hand.
Love is a letter on pink stationary.
Love is getting someone a glass of water in the middle of the night.
Love is passing notes back and forth in school.
Love is standing in a doorway just to see her if she comes walking by.
Love is making fudge together.
Love is wondering what he’s doing right now this very moment.
Love is buying somebody a present with your own money.
Love is not nagging.
Love is visiting a sick friend.
Love is a phone call.
Love is walking in the rain together.
Love is eating out with your whole family.
Love is being able to spot her clear across the playground among four hundred other kids.
Love is committing yourself in writing.
Love is meeting someone by the pencil sharpener.
Love is being happy just knowing that she’s happy…but that isn’t so easy.
Love is a flag.
Love is liking people.
Love is liking ideas.
Love is the whole world.

Happy Chinese New Year

It's the year of the Rat. I think you should celebrate by watching Ratatouille.

I also think you should check out the new and improved website of Cammy Lee Leukemia Foundation. Check out dates and times for upcoming drives and spread the word.

Along the same lines, if you are already registered to be a donor, make sure that your information is updated. If you're not registered to be a donor...it's been a good long while since I've pestered anyone about it. Things didn't work out the way I would have liked with Joe. But that doesn't take away from the fact that his donor is a hero, and she quite possibly gave me and our families several more months with Joe than we would have had. Bone marrow transplants have saved many lives, and you could be the key in saving another life. Think about it.


While you're thinking, send up all the prayers, good vibes, and virtual hugs you can for Erica and Dale. They are two really amazing people who have been through way too much.
