Little boy and little girl love, casual love that just met yesterday, you might be able to contain these in the shallow marketing vehicle that is Valentine's Day. Commercial actors, advertising executives and advertiser-funded commentators on media "human interest" segments can all go straight to hell for the audacity to assume they can tell a real person how they should express real love for another real person. My love is not your business opportunity.
Susan, I love you with the full force of everything we are and everything we've done and everything we've had. I love you with seventeen years of my life and all of my money and lots of the money I've not even earned yet and all of the life I have left. I love you with three whole new people that didn't even exist when we met, three people we built together. I love you with three apartments, two rent houses and two owned houses. I love you with eight dogs, seven hamsters and thirteen cars. No card and no flower and no candy and no jewelry could possibly express how much I love you.
Of course, I'll be getting you a little bit of that kind of stuff too from time to time, just for kicks. Happy Valentine's Day.
Hello, friends. How are you today?
Love.
