Valentine’s Day

SYBIL TAYLOR Artist/Vendor

Valentine's Day. A day of love, a day of romance, a day of emotion, a day of affection, a day of special moments, a day of hearts and roses, a day of showing your appreciation towards the one you love and honoring friendship. Valentine's Day is a day of love. I love you means a lot to our family, friends, pets, our partners, and our husbands and wives. Love is very special. Love is everywhere in the LGBTQ community and in all genders of the world.

Love is giving a box of chocolate candy, beautiful roses, violets and special gifts. A romantic lunch, breakfast or dinner. A nice bubble bath. I love my mother, my two sisters, my brother, my niece and Daniel Ball, who I have been with and known since 1996. He is a precious jewel. And my father who is always in my heart forever — he will be truly missed. Have a great Valentine's Day.

Valentine’s Day is around the corner. I sent my loved ones Valentine’s cards and balloons to make their day happy. Every year couples celebrate by going out to dinner and dancing.

Gas and food prices are going up every year. Congress needs to step up and end the high costs. We as people want the best bargain.

Spring is coming soon. Birds will sing and flowers will bloom.

Yes, I love to give Valentine’s cards to every Street Sense vendor. And, yes, I love all my Street Sense brothers and sisters and staff members too. I want to give a special shout-out to Maria and Thomas because both of them work very hard. I also love my family very much. I have one good friend I’m really going to miss. Her name is Amina Washington. I loved the conversations we would have at Starbucks.

How do you know if he loves you?

This is the question so many people ask. My girlfriend and I were at the YWCA a couple of years ago and pondered this very question. She told me her boyfriend asked her to come over to his house for a date. Another couple was there, and he paid special attention to her. Of course, everyone has their own opinion about this eternal question.
