V-day

My most memorable Valentine's Day ever was the year I was about 14 or 15. I had a girlfriend named Jo that year, she was my neighbor actually. To the rest of the world she was a bad seed. The type you don't want your kids hanging around because she smoked like a chimney and drank. She did drugs too but that would be later that year...
She was kind of crazy, I'll admit it. There wasn't much of anything "ladylike" or politically correct about her - she cussed like a sailor and was allergic to skirts but I loved hanging out with her. She was fun and funny too! She'd have you rollin'.
This is the year I was crushed on someone that she was actually having sex with. She didn't really know how I felt about him so I tried not to hold it against her. This Valentine's Day however she showed up on my doorstep with 2 big heart shaped boxed of Russell Stove chocolate candy. We sat on my front porch and ate candy and talked about boys and family and life and I don't remember it being that cold but, it probably was. All I remember was feeling really really happy and loved.
