Despite all of the hardships lately, there were those moments when time seemed to stop. When everything seemed simple and absolutely, delightfully perfect. Those were the times where one should 'stop and smell the roses'. It was a good day. Elia, who had spend most of the night keeping her parents awake, was a picture of perfection today. She was rather cuddly, giving Emi a reason to teasingly suggest, "Maybe she knows it's Valentine's Day."
It was certainly not a romantic day, but Amanda had a new found appreciation for the father that Niels had become. He was attentive, patient and so loving. And even with Amanda's stress levels at an all time high, and her patience far from where it should be, he remained as doting as ever. Her forever Valentine was there in good and in bad. He was the true example of what love was.
