Oh the pressures of Valentine's Day!

Up and down the path to Coast Guard Hill and the Heads, are benches like this one. This one reads Deborah Jennie Beck, a young neighbor across the lake here, who died of cancer. She and her husband had moved to Port Orford to enjoy this very hill, these wonderful beach views.

These benches can be purchased to memorialize a relationship, a life, an event.  They bring needed respite on those steep climbs especially on cold and wet and windy days so frequently esperienced here in Port Orford.

If you do just one thing for your loved one today, make and keep medical appointments and follow ups.
Many maladies are preventable if caugtht early.
As a partner in love, in life, in walks and in prayer, you're also the partner in sickness and in pain.

Valentine Day is about celebrating your partnership.
Go on, smile and make your own Hallmark Moment.

You bought roses and candy? It's a start!
