The older I get, the less important it is to me to make a big deal out of Valentine's Day. My valentines are just that every day of the year. Hubby and I decided a few years ago that it was not necessary to go buy cards, candy, flowers or whatever just because February 14th rolled around. It doesn't mean we don't love each other, it just means we don't need to buy something to prove it. Personally, I'd rather have a surprise happen on just an ordinary day.
As a friend of mine posted on FB, there are Valentines other than significant others - my boys, my grandson, my parents, my siblings, other relatives and dear friends. If I sent valentines to all of them, stamps alone would cost a fortune. Yes, they're worth it, but I can't afford to do it. Enough said.
So if you happen to read this, Happy Valentine's Day. I mean it just as much as if I'd sent a card, candy, flowers or balloons!

Back at ya, sweet friend. And I'm so sorry about Buddy.
I'm with you. I'd rather have a "surprise" on an "ordinary day." Much more special.
