Valentine's Day

Our church is doing something different for Valentine's Day this year. I have mixed feelings about it, however, I am going to support it, because it is the church. I come from a family that Valentine's Day is a day that has always been special - to the whole family. Daddy always included me in his plans for mom and now that I am married, Madeline is always included in our plans. Not to mention, now that we are with mom and she is widowed, we always include her. It is a very depressing day for her. But the church is doing a couples only thing. I really don't like the thought of it, I expressed my views, and apparently my views didn't matter. I just don't feel "right" about it. And truthfully, I might just support them with making the food, and still do things with my family like we had planned. I don't know why it can't be a "family" day. If we wanted to do a couples thing, then we can invite couples to our homes to start that kind of group. I don't know - guess I am just venting!
