THIS MONTH we are celebrating both Valentine’s and Chinese New Year—which therefore calls for a double celebration! And the common thread for these festivities, besides the colour red, is the upholding of love and family. Even your best buddies can give you this familial feeling. I’ve always loved this line by Vin Diesel: “I’ve got no friends, I’ve got family.” Family or not, this circle of trust is a gift to be cherished and treasured, not to be taken for granted.
