Today marks another one of the reminders that Michael is gone from this physical world. I've been thinking a lot about our first Valentine's Day together and the romantic evening we shared. I yearn for that closeness with him again. Now that he's gone, I focus on memories like this and our spiritual connection to help me get through the rough patches.
I'm grateful that we both had the same outlook on Valentine's Day. We didn't need one day a year to go overboard and tell each other "I love you" and how we felt about each other. Instead we told each other every day how much we loved each other. I challenge anyone reading this to look at not only your romantic relationships, but all your relationships in this manner. Take time and tell the people in your life what they mean to you. You don't have to make an ordeal with cards, flowers, and candy. Leave a little note on the kitchen counter that expresses your feelings. Do something small that you don't normally do, like the dishes, and give him/her a little kiss and thank you for being in your life. You never know when your loved one will be gone, so cherish every moment as if it's your last.
Michael may be gone in this physical world, but I still feel his presence with me every day when I think of him and the times we shared. I don't need Valentine's Day to know how much he loved me and I loved him.
