It happens more time than I care to remember. My daughter disappears with the portable DVD player for a couple of hours. When I finally track it down in her room it is loaded with her well worn copy of A Walk to Remember.
Personally, I have never watched the movie but I get the idea it is...romantic.
As I approach Valentines Day I feel an awareness of a couple of things.
(1) I don't prioritize or even firmly grasp 'romantic' as pertains to my wife.
I know she doesn't think real life romance is like scripted TV romance. But how exactly it is defined is a little murky.
Odds are she told me and I didn't want to remember.
(2) My little girl likes the idea of romance. The idea of being valued and protected by a young man (I'm getting mad just typing this!). This I understand a little more and try to convey to her by showing her how a young man should act and treat her.
In the end I believe Valentines Day were created by some man hating female Nazis to just get men in trouble! :-)
