vd-survivorAre you part of a loving, stable, romantic relationship? Good for you!  I mean that, no snark attached. It’s not easy to find a real partner in life and love. So, when should you celebrate said love? Whenever the hell you want.

You heard me … whenever. If a universal random day mid-way through February works for your romantic savoir faire, go with it. Any time is a good time for an excuse to show appreciation for the one you love. Why not February 14th? For that matter, why not February 13th, too, and February 15th and, color me crazy, but why not July 28th? You see where I’m going with this.
