valentines was amazing.

ate yummy food, watched a movie, and

started on a painting with the man.

i haven’t made my mind up about valentines.

i use to hate it until all of the sudden 

there was someone i wanted to completely spoil.

valentines also marked 16 years since my

cousin died from an automobile accident.

i often think about him on valentines, 

even though i hardly knew him as
he was just 16 years old.

i do remember on valentine's day

receiving gifts from my aunt that said

buckle up.

i wanted to share a picture of him and 

something he wrote days before he died.
it's pretty profound. 

so simple. buckle up.
