Evan stands up and announces to our friends, “Hey, everyone. We just picked our date. We’re getting married on Valentine’s Day.” Evan takes me by the hand, helps me to my feet and spins me around in circles.
Everyone rushes around us to offer their congratulations. Derek walks right up to Evan and shakes his hand offering his own little wisdom for the occasion, “Good choice, Mac. You’ll never get in trouble for forgetting your anniversary.”
As it begins to get late, the girls and I start to clean up the mess before everyone leaves. The men bring us their dirty glasses and dishes, and then gather around the television to see how some of the other teams did today. Emmy, Reese, Camilla and I are filling the dishwasher and discarding the leftovers when suddenly, everything grows eerily quiet.
A news bulletin flashes across the screen. The crawler at the bottom of the screen reads, “Deadly helicopter crash in Alaska. Pilot and all passengers killed on impact.” The image above shows the wreckage of a helicopter at the base of a snow-covered mountain. In the top right-hand corner of the screen, the location of the crash is identified as Bear Glacier National Park. The plate in my hand goes crashing to the ground. “NO!”

lowers are colorful, natural and beautiful. They have traditionally been given as gifts for centuries. Different flowers have different meanings, though, and they developed these meanings because of their histories and associations with certain practices. Flowers today make a lovely gift to acknowledge love, friendship, congratulations and sympathy.
