Every February I remember my Mom's parents, as they both passed away during this month in different years. Usually this is the low point of my year - I feel down in general for the whole month and Valentine's Day is especially hard.
This year I am going to Leu Gardens the weekend after next to remember them, instead of spending the day moping. They would want me to live my life and remember them in happy times, so that is what I will do. They loved nature so it is somewhere they'd love, and I know that it will be a peaceful way to spend most of the day.
As for Valentine's Day, I am going to enjoy the company of my friends and family while they are still with me, because if witnessing the death of grandparents and relatives has taught me anything, it is that I need to appreciate the people around me while they are still on this earth. I believe we will all be together again someday, but that day is a long ways off.
