I think I just figured out why my mother always gave us kids Valentine's Day gifts. As a single mother, it's better to celebrate with your kids than not at all. How much loneliness can a woman take?
All the years I spent Valentine's with my child only, all the Christmases and New Years I've spent the same way... I understand, now, why my mother chose to actively enjoy her children's company rather than mourn the lack of adult company.
