This post is bittersweet. I am always sad to think of your loss.
On the other hand, yes indeed, any excuse for festivity in my book. Perhaps everyday should be the holiday of love, but life though. I really think the cat ears and tail sound fantastic and would like to acquire some of of my own. I am a dog person...but this doesn't quite have the same appeal

For some people certain holidays/commemorations bring good feelings; for some, such days bring blue feelings.
I think it is more important to be accepting of other's feelings than prescriptive, or expecting that they can will them to be different.
Emotional repression may be consciously possible, but always comes at the expense of expression. If someone is feeling blue because of isolation, limiting expression may only make the situation worse.
For me Valentine's day is neither good, nor bad. However, if I were coupled, I expect it would give me the shits in terms of being another day when women can abandon all principles of equality and spontaneity, expecting to be showered with exotic gifts, dinners, and entertainments. I call for Valentine's day to be reformed, so that the custom becomes established, whereby women on that day alone are expected to hand-feed individually peeled grapes to their men, while he reclines in comfort.
I suppose Valentines day would be more interesting if you actually wanted to celebrate it rather than feeling as if it was expected.
I suppose I dont really like expectations. I do so much better without them.

I don't expect anything on Valentine's Day - for me it's just another day, and I would never want to place such expectations on someone else. If I give a gift, whenever I give it (on a holiday or otherwise), I don't have any desire for reciprocation. Everyone is different though - I imagine there are indeed both women and men who would expect such things as you described. For some, I also imagine they give gifts just to show appreciation for those they love, regardless of it being necessary to do such a thing.
I do agree, people should be free to feel whatever it is they feel.
I'm with you on the expectation part of it. I think it should be done with light-hearted whimsy and absolutely no reciprocity required. I can get past the commercialism of it all, but what I really don't like is that it's targeted specifically to couples. I'm going to celebrate love and all whom I love, not just a romantic partner. My friends, my family, everyone that I have little warm fuzzies for, everyone. And although I firmly believe in celebrating this love every single day, I'm still celebrating V-day like a mad fool. Little gifts and chocolates, little love notes to my friends and family- all intended to put a smile on their faces, nothing more.
I wish each and every one of you a Happy Valentine's Day! <3

I see what you are saying. But I swear not all women are the same that way! I just enjoy things for what they are and my husband does what he wants. For example, I buy him gifts because it is fun for me, but I don't actually expect anything in return except his love and appreciation (which I get anyway). Gift exchange has never been a big deal for us, and I suspect it is not for many. He doesn't buy me V-Day gifts and I don't really care because things like cut flowers and such are really expensive, especially around that day. We enjoy the sales after as I think someone else here mentioned. It is sad that some women turn a potentially fun day into into one of entitlement and dread.
