Happy Hearts Day!

Happy Valentines Day!

Delilah gets me every time!  When I am driving home from my parents house at night NPR is usually off the air, forcing me to peruse the stations, inevitably leading me to "Delilah."  She plays the cheesiest songs and the dedications are atrocious, but she always manages to reel me in.  

Tonight she was laying it on thick, due to Valentines Day, and I lapped it up.  I think it was Boyz to Men, maybe even Whitney Houston, possibly Bryan Adams, something in the midst of these cliched lyrics struck a chord inside me and I lost it.  

A tear trickled down my cheek as I thought about cruising down H1 with Chris belting out Britney Spears and techno music in an attempt to force little Hazel out of my belly.  They started pouring as I was whisked back to a strong, warm embrace and Jack Johnson cooing "Better Together."  I filled buckets as I recalled him singing "Boston You're my Home" and dancing around the house with the little monkey.  

Hazel joined in and we were both bawling as we turned onto our dark lonely street.  We pulled into the driveway and, as I frantically unstrapped her from her car seat, my angel sent a ray of sunshine right into my heart with a huge smile.  Just like her Daddy, little Hazel knows how to make everything better.  

We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day!  Hazel and I love you and miss you!
