All Valentine's Days are not the same. Many different emotions are tied to our memories of Valentine's Days past. This was a sad one but was well expressed in your contest entry. It should do well. It sad to be apart, but nice to have someone in your heart, Bill

Your take on this one is out of the box, an unexpected surprise that I enjoyed reading. Thank you for caring that I won a contest - thing is I can't find it under winners or any where else. I'm sure that wherever it is, it will eventually show up! I really like your entry. .. Good write and good luck in the contest. CayCay
