Lauren on Valentines Day (with her Valentine box) in first grade / 2001Happy Valentines Day!!
Lauren celebrated LOVE every day of her life. She knew the NOUN AND the VERB so well. She is just a master of it. So, Valentines was a big, big day to her .... even in the toughest days of her illness. During those days, it wasn't just her family and friends who received Valentines, it was fellow patients whom she had never met. Hundreds of Valentines were delivered in her 3 1/2 year battle with cancer with a special measure of the love she so sweetly possessed and expressed so well. Thousands of Valentines graced her short mortal life.
In that honor, I had "wished" to deliver the Valentine of her completed book "Happily Ever After: The Power of Perspective" today. Despite my sincere desires and efforts otherwise, I have been unable to complete it. I have no idea when or even if it will be finished.
I remain determined to honor her life and the love she filled every day with . . .
I'll either find a different way to do it or I'll keep laboring and hope to be able to announce the completion soon.
May you fill Valentines Day with Love as a VERB . . . and do it deeply.
Lauren's mom.
