“The best Valentine’s Day gift I ever received was this past Valentine’s Day! My daughter and wife made me a batch of red velvet (yum! my absolute favorite!) cupcakes and hand-delivered them to my office; along with a Valentine’s Day card hand-written by the both of them! Also, my six year-old daughter, gave me her best five-minute rendition of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ in front of all my co-workers! It was the ‘sweetest thing’ I’ve ever witnessed!”
