As everyone knows today is 2/14 and that means it is Valentine's Day! Though many people do not like this day, I do! It is really a day to tell those in your life who you truly love that you do. Sure, it is a Hallmark Holiday, but what is so wrong with appreciating the people you care about? No need for a crazy gesture all you need is a text, hug, email, call, anything just to remind someone that you care about them. Personally, my mom and dad have been my valentine for 26 years and will be forever! (however, I do wish they would still make me pink heart shaped pancakes, but not living at home has put an end to that)
This year there was unique way Capital Law School showed each other that this really is a family and we are all there for one another. We have an on campus dining option for the Law School, "People's Court", and just so you know the food is AWESOME! Lots of home cooked comfort food that is just what you need in between law classes, and all the menu items are named as a spoof off our professor's names. The food is great, but the service is even better. Lynne runs this and her mom is there to help. It is very family oriented and they give you the warmest smiles when you walk up, brightening students, staff, and faculty members days on a regular basis. Recently, some family issues came up and Lynne had to close People's Court temporarily. Though everyone missed having a lunch option at school we all understood family comes first. The staff at school knew this would be hard for her family not have People's Court operating so they decided to operate a fund raiser asking students and staff to give if they could to help out a member of the CapLaw community. Not only did people help, we were able to raise enough to help actually make a difference and lift some weight off Lynne's shoulders. We are here for one another no matter how busy and it is refreshing to see people give of themselves and show that they care just like everyone should in the spirit of Valentine's Day!
The school really came together to help someone out and show that we all truly care about one another. It didn't matter if you ate their daily or if you have eaten there once, everyone heard a member of our community was facing an issue and wanted to help in any and all ways possible. We are so grateful for the services that Lynne provides, but also for her kind words and warm smiles. It is hard to get a community of stressed out students and faculty and staff with crazy schedules to stop and appreciate the world around them; but CapLaw truly shined in their effort to help out a fellow member of this school community and share the love that this Hallmark holiday gets slammed for. So thank you to everyone for sharing the spirit of Valentine's Day with this community.
In closing I hope you all realize that Valentine's Day is not about chocolate and flowers, but about love for one another. Take some time to think about who you care about and make a little effort to let them know you care, because sometimes a friend or family member may not realize how much they really mean to you.
Happy Valentines Day!
