The Harmelings

It’s Valentine Week (no, not Valentines Day – the actual day is usually quite anticlimactic)! But I kinda like the week – the reds and pinks, the idea of celebrating love, sending little notes, and the candy…who doesn’t love candy?!?!  I want to find a tradition, to show the special love for my boys on Vday. And I think I may just borrow one from Gail (mom.) She always bought us PJ’s for valentines day. Cute huh? Can you see me getting Jack and DJ a new pair of footy jammies every Feb 14? I wont if I have enough time to start this now….

Anyway , that wasnt why I started this post. I was  actually just getting acupuncture (yes, me, needles, voluntarily, but that too is a whole other post,) and during the dim-light portion where you sit still for 20 minutes with needles protruding from your body, I was drifting among memories, and reflecting on this week. This is a big week in my head. 5 years ago yesterday, we found out we were prego with Jack. Oh what an exciting yet terrifying day. And 5 years tomorrow was the funeral service for Lloyd, one of our dearly missed family treasures. And this week, today, is actually the due date for the baby we lost last summer. Wow, the emotions. 5 years, this week.  Valentine week – to celebrate love.  Cheers cheers!

Did someone say celebrate?!?!?!?! Well lets dance!
