Over the yeas I fondly thought of him as my “Valentine Man”. At the age of six, on Valentine’s Day morning, I got a card signed “Love, Dad” for the first time and a gift of a ring with a small piece of red glass. As I grew older, the gifts gave way to heart-shaped boxes filled with my favorite chocolates and always included a special card signed “Love, Dad”. Year by year, the cards seemed less important, and I thought the valentine (圣瓦伦丁节送给异性的卡片或礼物等) would always be there.

If my father knew then that he had been replaced, he never let it show. If he sensed any disappointment over valentines that didn’t arrive from me, he just tried that much harder to create a positive atmosphere （气氛）, giving me an extra hug (拥 抱) and doing what he could to make my day a little brighter. On Valentine’s Day eight years ago I received a card addressed to me in my mother’s handwriting (笔迹).
