Happy "Love Day" everyone

[AfricaBrass]

Love Day was a gag holiday created on the Simpsons a few years ago [blah blah blah blah]

Bah. I'm going to pretend I didn't read this post.

I refuse to accept that Love Day has any roots in commercialization.

I Love "Love Day" and this thread warms my heart. Out of the mouths of babes.

Thanks for sharing, Soulstream!

Same here.

Yes, you're welcome. I'm glad I posted it and am surprised at the reception it's gotten! It's a great feeling to pass on some positive energy, vibes...or well...love (call it what it is!).

I wonder how many have brought up Love Day with others outside of the board? Say a spouse or friend or relative. Just put my daughter to bed, another Love Day gone by.

I'm not one to be moved necessarily by T.V. shows. However, on Nightline tonight I saw a very heartwrenching story about a young 11 year-old-girl from a very poverty-stricken family in Afghanistan. She is a singer who goes to a performing circus school that entertains other schoolchildren. However, she has a heart condition that is fatal unless a relatively simple proceedure is done. She lives a healthy life if she gets the minor surgery, otherwise she will die within 6 months. She would have to be flown to India and the cost is $10,000.

In the spirit of my daughter's Love Day, I'd like to provide a link to her story.

This thread always deserves to come up for air.
