Alison Curtis: Make Valentine’s a day to appreciate all the people you love

Alison Curtis says celebrating Valentine's Day with her family is a connection to her father that lives on

Valentine's Day is a day to show your children, parents, and friends how much you love them

Celebrate love and friends. Some people poo poo it as just another commercial holiday, but I prefer to think of it is a nice reminder to appreciate those who you really care about in your life.

Valentine’s was always an important day in our household growing up. My father really loved celebrating it and each year he would treat my mother, sister, and me to something special.
