I Resist the Muses

As someone who has lost many people and memories in her life, it is hard to pick just one person or thing that I will never have back. Instinctively I want to say mama, but through the years I have learned that I can live my life without my mother. As sad as it sounds, it's unfortunately true.

My greatest loss was probably Vera. I know it sounds crazy since she dedicated her life to ruining mine and even tried to kill me, but losing Vera was like a well-needed turning point. She was the one that made me realize everything I needed was right where I wanted it to be – at home.

Without Vera there torturing me, I never would have done half of the things I have done. Things that happened would never have happened if not for Vera. Even though she did everything she could from letting me live a happy life, she'll never know how happy I really am now.

St. Valentine was a Priest, martyred in 269 at Rome and was buried on the Flaminian Way. He is the Patron Saint of affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travellers, young people. He is represented in pictures with birds and roses.

Does learning this change your thoughts about Valentine's Day?

Sorry for missing last week. I'm not back in the habit of doing these yet :) Thanks to unchainme for filling in.

You mean it's not that little cupid bloke?
That's something new. I always thought he was St. Valentine. Reckon I should ask an RC mate if they know anything.

But what's with the fainting, bees, and plague. Tell someone you love them by giving them the plague? That's going to bung the holiday works up. Might bring the divorce rate down though.
