Valentines

Today's post was going to be about my heart collection. But everything stopped when my sister Sue called me about the terrible shooting at my alma mater, Northern Illinois University. I grew up just three miles away, in Sycamore. Many of my classmates and their families still live in the area. What a senseless tragedy on this day meant for love.
