Rememberances

Yet another year... Yet another Valentine's.

I guess this year is unique in a sense because I chose to mark papers alone at home.

Time has flown so quickly. Many things has been happening over the last few years. I've made new friends, caught up with the old... Gone places, done things, lived experiences.

On this day this year, this day supposedly set aside for lovers, I found myself with my memories. Yet I am strangely glad I am home. Though there is no one by my side tonight, I am not alone. I have my memories... My memories of old... Gentle and warm... Sweet... They are as old friends, whispering words, bringing back the touches gentle, words sweet, and kisses tender.

My thoughts are somewhere, and I am not alone.

Valentine's... Humbug!!

Quite pissed off today.

It started quite well this morning. I saw my kids rushing, and trying so earnestly to raise funds in the morning. However, as the day progresses, I began to see all the things I do not like.

Lack of basic courtesy. Lack of concern. Lack of regard for others. In fact, pretty much a lack of everything a decent human being should possess.

The class was in a mess. Flowers are strewn everywhere. Money was used for other purposes.

I see the efforts of a few dedicated students thrown to the winds by their classmates who simply do not care.

Enough.

Grow old along with thee, the best is yet to be...

Who knows where the road will lead us

Only a fool would say,

But if you let me love you

I'm sure to love you all the way.
