Last year, for Valentines Day, my office did an Old Fashioned Valentines thing. Everyone decorated bags to receive cards in and then some passed out Valentine cards. It was cute.

So, I hadn’t posted here about this, but had on Twitter and FB. I felt the need to put it here, too, especially since a recent post was about him and being a father soon. My dear, sweet, beautiful brother died this year, unexpectedly at the very young age of 32. My heart is broken. [...]
