Valentine's Day in North America is understood to be for lovers, and that is very nice. In Latin America it is also Friendship Day, which I think is even nicer. Not to knock love, familial love, romantic love, all of those forms, but friendship is special and deserving of a special day.
Despite the risk of breaking into a chorus of Auld Lang Syne, today I'm thinking of everyone I love, and all of my friends, because every one is special - new and old, near and far.

Thanks for a lovely thought on a day that should celebrate everyone that we love!
Ahhh, ye canna stop me nae!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup !
And surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou’d the gowans fine ;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin’ auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin’ auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
And gives a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie-waught,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
Happy Friendship Day, Chuck!
