Miss you, buddy...
Landen always believed everyone should feel loved...as do I! We even had a phone message for our answering machine which used the DC TALK song,
"We All Wanna Be Loved". It didn't last long...Dad felt like we should have something a little more serious since we were a pastor's home...lol!
We used to get so down on those who called Valentine's Day "Single Awareness Day" because we always believed Valentine's Day was a day where everyone EVERYWHERE should be love oozing out of everyone! Today standing in line to order lunch I was reminded of the term 'Single Awareness Day" as I heard some embittered girls in sweatshirts with messy hair and no makeup talk of this. Saddness gripped my heart...Instead of looking around to receive love perhaps they would be more fulfilled if they looked to see where they could ooze some love!
I remember one Valentine's Day in particular Landen took our cousin Jocelyn out for ice cream, me out for dinner( Bambinos...we laughed so hard the entire dinner!) and took his girlfriend out on a special date. He was insistant that each of us feel so special. In my 31 years of life I have been in a relationship of some kind for only 4 of those Valentine's Days. I certainly appreciate the ones where I have been doted on by the love of my life, and cherish the specialness Landen placed on my life but I can honestly say in the moments I have had to ooze LOVE have been the best!
Try to at least show 3 people you love them today...it won't kill you! I PROMISE!
Happy Valentine's Day !DC Talk "We All Wanna Be Loved"
