Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. San Francisco gets a lot of hate, but you don’t get to hate it unless you love it. And one person I know who loves San Francisco is my colleague, Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí, who proudly reps the Mission District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It was just such a place where they were characters everywhere. It was definitely a feeling of like, everyone could do what they want or just be themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Carlos has seen the neighborhood through a lot of changes over the years. Stores closing, childhood friends priced out and beloved murals getting painted over. This Valentine’s Day, Carlos shares with us a story of one mural he loved dearly and what it meant to lose it. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I’m Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí, and I’m the community engagement reporter with KQED. So my family first arrived in the Bay area when I was seven. We moved to Oakland. Back then it was myself, my mom, and at the time my stepdad. During that time, my little brother was born. We’re eight years apart. A few months later, when we moved to Hayward and and Hayward, things took a turn for the worst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My stepdad. He did things that made my mom and myself unsafe emotionally and physically hurting us. And it got to a point where my mom decided to leave and come to San Francisco, because here there are several really, really amazing, incredibly helpful and generous shelters for moms and their kids. The reason we moved to San Francisco wasn’t a very happy one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It was a very painful one, but it was also the start of a really, really amazing relationship with a place that welcomed us with a lot of people who worked really hard to make sure that we were safe and that we have what we needed. We first moved to Hays Valley, and that’s where we were for over a year and a shelter. And when I was ten, we made it to the mission where I still call home. At that time I was starting middle school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My middle school was in the Fillmore in the Western addition. It was a KIPP school, which for folks unfamiliar, that’s a charter school system, a very, very like disciplined charter school system. We had to be in school from 730 to 5. But as soon as it was five, the way that we would, like, run out like rats out of the school building to just hang out to like, run around for the kids who lived in the mission, you know, we’d get on the 22 and then eventually, you know, the 14, the 49 there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>They’re these huge busses, these long, super long busses, and they’re like kind of like two busses, like connected. And the back, the windows were a thing where all you had to do was push them and they would open up, and there were these huge windows and we would always be parting. None of us had like real speakers, but we all had like, radios. We like blasting like radio music and then like doing other stuff that you weren’t supposed to do in our bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>And then as soon as, like, you know, the driver would get mad at us. We’d all, like, jump out from those windows. Seeing friends, you know, like, hold onto the back of the bus because they were on their skateboards and they would just, like, grab on the back of the bus, and the bus would just, you know, like, ferry them through the mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>There are definitely things that maybe things my friends and I were doing pretty early on that we shouldn’t have been doing. But it’s always been a very active, super colorful, super noisy, super loud part of the city, which I love. I was born and raised in Mexico City. Also, I’m very loud and very colorful and just very chaotic city. I knew I wanted to be back where there was just kids playing in the street, busses moving all the time, cars, music, am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Mission Street has always been that. I was ten years old when I first saw Al Fuego or Cease Fire by Juan Alisha on the corner of Mission Street and 21st Street. It’s immediately. What stood out to me was that it was the face like a kid. And this kid, he was standing on this beautiful, beautiful field. And there’s mountains and it looks so humid and green and just lush. But in front of him, there’s many, many machine guns pointing at him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>But what’s separating him from the machine? Guns are two hands, huge hands. And you can’t see whose hands they are. They just appear in front of the kid. The kid is looking at you, and it’s very much like a mona Lisa effect, where no matter where you are on the intersection, it felt like he was looking at you. You know, they weren’t angry, they weren’t happy, they weren’t sad, but they were just eyes full of a very strong emotion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>That immediately struck me. You know the element like, why are guns pointing at this kid? Who is he and who are those hands? Now, the mural was showing a moment where, like, a kid was in danger. But this force, these hands came and defended him. I’ve always been very protective of my mom. We were very close. At that time, I brother was only one when we left the situation with my stepdad. I made a promise that I would always protect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong> Seeing a visual representation of hands coming to protect someone vulnerable, it’s showing me that it is possible and that I’m also in a place that believes in it, that strongly believes in it. You know, again, this wasn’t in a random alley. It was in the heart of this neighborhood. Tens of thousands of people must have walked past it every single day. Juan Alicia painted ceasefire in 1988.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>There was a lot of armed conflicts throughout the region of Central America and in Honduras. There was a very active American intervention, and the mural was actually set in the fields of Honduras. Many of the folks left and came to San Francisco. You’ve had families coming from Central America for 40, 50 years. Many other parts of the US are seeing folks come from Central America, and it’s like the first wave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>But San Francisco is a place where you see, you know, two, three, four generations of Central American families here. And one Alysia in 1988 decides to paint a mural. Calling for a cease fire and a protection of civilians in Honduras. And that’s what we see. We see a young boy who represents the vulnerable civilian population of Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Being protected, being shielded away from a lot of the violence, a lot of the guns, a lot of the armaments that were being brought in thanks to American imperialism, American foreign policy objectives. You know, as I became, I feel like more and more San Franciscan, I learned that that is history of folks coming from Central America to create a sanctuary, a safe space for their homes, for their families here in the city. It really connected? With what?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>The reason that my family had come San Francisco. I first found out that the mural was the face through my mom. I’m out comes and I’m in high school. And she says, you can’t believe what happened to Juan Alice’s mural. And the next day I go check it out. And sure enough, someone had scribbled, I think, something like toy across it. A couple days later, more tagging happens on it and there was no explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It wasn’t necessarily something like frustrating, but really just like a why why someone would do this to something so beautiful and important. As I understand Juan Alisha raised funds to try to rehabilitate the mural, but at the end of the day, then it happened. And then years later, the property owners commissioned another mural on top of it. And it’s the painting of a horse. The horses isn’t like doing anything or jumping over a fence or anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It’s just the horse, and it’s like standing on a beach or empty field and that’s about it. I really do think that it doesn’t have the same context and the same message. And I’ve definitely been in many conversations with people that are like, why is there a horse there and what? But years later, the horse is still there. So I guess it’s part of us now too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>One of my favorite things to do when I go running throughout the mission is because I have a list of favorite murals I like to see, and there are some murals are no longer exist, but I think that that is the one that I it’s the most. Years later, I actually got to see a version of the mural one more time. And this was at an exhibition organized by the San Francisco Arts Commission. They included one of the original sketches that Juan Alicia had made of the mural, and it wasn’t huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It was like maybe three feet by four feet and there wasn’t any color. But you know the boy. He looked at you with the same intensity. The landscape was still as beautiful as it was when I first looked at it. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that I was seeing it after such a long time. I never thought I was going to see them like a version of that mural again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So much had happened since I had last seen it. I went to college, I graduated. I became a journalist. I learned so many things about myself and seeing it again. It was like coming back into contact with that younger version of me, and I realized, whoa, it doesn’t necessarily have the same grounding effect as it did before, but I think that’s okay. You know, so much has changed for the better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My family, you know, we’ve obviously become a lot more stable. And we’ve been we’ve been able to grow. You know, my mom has been able to continue her career. My brother’s about to go to college. I. You know, I’ve been able to find a career I love. When we first came into this city, you know, we had so little and just so many, just the worries and anxieties and then seeing it again on the other side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I really appreciate that opportunity. When I think about this mural now. One of the things. That stands out is how San Francisco, this little place, specifically the mission, this little neighborhood, its place in the history of so many. Movements. So much organizing is just really, really cool. It just it shows you that this is in like the DNA of the community, of the neighborhood, of the Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong> I think it’s really cool when art, when public art can teach it again, because I came in as I’ve had no idea about any of this history, that I was like standing on sacred ground, pretty much. S.F. and the Bay. There’s always going to be tough spots and periods of transformation.

It was definitely a feeling of like, everyone could do what they want or just be themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Carlos has seen the neighborhood through a lot of changes over the years. Stores closing, childhood friends priced out and beloved murals getting painted over. This Valentine’s Day, Carlos shares with us a story of one mural he loved dearly and what it meant to lose it. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I’m Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí, and I’m the community engagement reporter with KQED. So my family first arrived in the Bay area when I was seven. We moved to Oakland. Back then it was myself, my mom, and at the time my stepdad. During that time, my little brother was born. We’re eight years apart. A few months later, when we moved to Hayward and and Hayward, things took a turn for the worst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My stepdad. He did things that made my mom and myself unsafe emotionally and physically hurting us. And it got to a point where my mom decided to leave and come to San Francisco, because here there are several really, really amazing, incredibly helpful and generous shelters for moms and their kids. The reason we moved to San Francisco wasn’t a very happy one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It was a very painful one, but it was also the start of a really, really amazing relationship with a place that welcomed us with a lot of people who worked really hard to make sure that we were safe and that we have what we needed. We first moved to Hays Valley, and that’s where we were for over a year and a shelter. And when I was ten, we made it to the mission where I still call home. At that time I was starting middle school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My middle school was in the Fillmore in the Western addition. It was a KIPP school, which for folks unfamiliar, that’s a charter school system, a very, very like disciplined charter school system. We had to be in school from 730 to 5. But as soon as it was five, the way that we would, like, run out like rats out of the school building to just hang out to like, run around for the kids who lived in the mission, you know, we’d get on the 22 and then eventually, you know, the 14, the 49 there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>They’re these huge busses, these long, super long busses, and they’re like kind of like two busses, like connected. And the back, the windows were a thing where all you had to do was push them and they would open up, and there were these huge windows and we would always be parting. None of us had like real speakers, but we all had like, radios. We like blasting like radio music and then like doing other stuff that you weren’t supposed to do in our bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>And then as soon as, like, you know, the driver would get mad at us. We’d all, like, jump out from those windows. Seeing friends, you know, like, hold onto the back of the bus because they were on their skateboards and they would just, like, grab on the back of the bus, and the bus would just, you know, like, ferry them through the mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>There are definitely things that maybe things my friends and I were doing pretty early on that we shouldn’t have been doing. But it’s always been a very active, super colorful, super noisy, super loud part of the city, which I love. I was born and raised in Mexico City. Also, I’m very loud and very colorful and just very chaotic city. I knew I wanted to be back where there was just kids playing in the street, busses moving all the time, cars, music, am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Mission Street has always been that. I was ten years old when I first saw Al Fuego or Cease Fire by Juan Alisha on the corner of Mission Street and 21st Street. It’s immediately. What stood out to me was that it was the face like a kid. And this kid, he was standing on this beautiful, beautiful field. And there’s mountains and it looks so humid and green and just lush. But in front of him, there’s many, many machine guns pointing at him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>But what’s separating him from the machine? Guns are two hands, huge hands. And you can’t see whose hands they are. They just appear in front of the kid. The kid is looking at you, and it’s very much like a mona Lisa effect, where no matter where you are on the intersection, it felt like he was looking at you. You know, they weren’t angry, they weren’t happy, they weren’t sad, but they were just eyes full of a very strong emotion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>That immediately struck me. You know the element like, why are guns pointing at this kid? Who is he and who are those hands? Now, the mural was showing a moment where, like, a kid was in danger. But this force, these hands came and defended him. I’ve always been very protective of my mom. We were very close. At that time, I brother was only one when we left the situation with my stepdad. I made a promise that I would always protect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong> Seeing a visual representation of hands coming to protect someone vulnerable, it’s showing me that it is possible and that I’m also in a place that believes in it, that strongly believes in it. You know, again, this wasn’t in a random alley. It was in the heart of this neighborhood. Tens of thousands of people must have walked past it every single day. Juan Alicia painted ceasefire in 1988.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>There was a lot of armed conflicts throughout the region of Central America and in Honduras. There was a very active American intervention, and the mural was actually set in the fields of Honduras. Many of the folks left and came to San Francisco. You’ve had families coming from Central America for 40, 50 years. Many other parts of the US are seeing folks come from Central America, and it’s like the first wave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>But San Francisco is a place where you see, you know, two, three, four generations of Central American families here. And one Alysia in 1988 decides to paint a mural. Calling for a cease fire and a protection of civilians in Honduras. And that’s what we see. We see a young boy who represents the vulnerable civilian population of Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Being protected, being shielded away from a lot of the violence, a lot of the guns, a lot of the armaments that were being brought in thanks to American imperialism, American foreign policy objectives. You know, as I became, I feel like more and more San Franciscan, I learned that that is history of folks coming from Central America to create a sanctuary, a safe space for their homes, for their families here in the city. It really connected? With what?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>The reason that my family had come San Francisco. I first found out that the mural was the face through my mom. I’m out comes and I’m in high school. And she says, you can’t believe what happened to Juan Alice’s mural. And the next day I go check it out. And sure enough, someone had scribbled, I think, something like toy across it. A couple days later, more tagging happens on it and there was no explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It wasn’t necessarily something like frustrating, but really just like a why why someone would do this to something so beautiful and important. As I understand Juan Alisha raised funds to try to rehabilitate the mural, but at the end of the day, then it happened. And then years later, the property owners commissioned another mural on top of it. And it’s the painting of a horse. The horses isn’t like doing anything or jumping over a fence or anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It’s just the horse, and it’s like standing on a beach or empty field and that’s about it. I really do think that it doesn’t have the same context and the same message. And I’ve definitely been in many conversations with people that are like, why is there a horse there and what? But years later, the horse is still there. So I guess it’s part of us now too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>One of my favorite things to do when I go running throughout the mission is because I have a list of favorite murals I like to see, and there are some murals are no longer exist, but I think that that is the one that I it’s the most. Years later, I actually got to see a version of the mural one more time. And this was at an exhibition organized by the San Francisco Arts Commission. They included one of the original sketches that Juan Alicia had made of the mural, and it wasn’t huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It was like maybe three feet by four feet and there wasn’t any color. But you know the boy. He looked at you with the same intensity. The landscape was still as beautiful as it was when I first looked at it. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that I was seeing it after such a long time. I never thought I was going to see them like a version of that mural again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So much had happened since I had last seen it. I went to college, I graduated. I became a journalist. I learned so many things about myself and seeing it again. It was like coming back into contact with that younger version of me, and I realized, whoa, it doesn’t necessarily have the same grounding effect as it did before, but I think that’s okay. You know, so much has changed for the better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My family, you know, we’ve obviously become a lot more stable. And we’ve been we’ve been able to grow. You know, my mom has been able to continue her career. My brother’s about to go to college. I. You know, I’ve been able to find a career I love. When we first came into this city, you know, we had so little and just so many, just the worries and anxieties and then seeing it again on the other side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I really appreciate that opportunity. When I think about this mural now. One of the things. That stands out is how San Francisco, this little place, specifically the mission, this little neighborhood, its place in the history of so many. Movements. So much organizing is just really, really cool. It just it shows you that this is in like the DNA of the community, of the neighborhood, of the Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong> I think it’s really cool when art, when public art can teach it again, because I came in as I’ve had no idea about any of this history, that I was like standing on sacred ground, pretty much. S.F. and the Bay. There’s always going to be tough spots and periods of transformation. But we have to have love for this version of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I feel like San Francisco had faith in me and my family when we first came in.

And then the other half of us were like, 'Man, what are we going to do next?' ” said Eugenio Borgeson. “And my friend Adam, whose birthday [it was]. I don't know what lit his fire, but he just got up and was like, ‘No, let's go to a dancing bar!’ And we were like, 'OK, OK!' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since there were 14 people that had to get transported to the club, three different Lyfts were in order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily for Eugenio, the birthday guy was looking out for him as the only single friend in the crew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was looking at the phone all up to his face.

We were just kind of like having a great conversation and really like vibing with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a couple of long, awkward seconds of lingering until his friends got out, Eugenio ditched the script and asked Aleah if he could give her his number. He wanted to continue their conversation over coffee or lunch sometime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why don't I offer her my number and have the ball be on her court, so she doesn't feel pressure to give me hers,\" he said. \"If she wasn't feeling it, then it's like, all right, no harm, no foul, [she] doesn't have to call me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleah was genuinely caught off guard by him offering his number, and she was into it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As she started to [drive away], I was thinking in my head, did I make the right decision?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That evening when Aleah got home, she told her roommates about the cute guy she drove and their stimulating conversation. But she wasn’t sure if she should text him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Monday rolls around and I'm at work and I was like, 'Oh, my God, she's not going to text me. I made the wrong decision. Why didn't I ask her for her number?' ” Eugenio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleah was stressing, too — should she text him or not?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I finally get home from classes, I go to my roommate like, ‘Yo, tell me the truth. Should I text him?’ And she said, ‘Aleah, you have not shut up about him from the moment you got home on Saturday. Just text him, stop bugging me about it and text him.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So she did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When she did finally text me, it was such a huge relief,” Eugenio said. “I was just so scared she wasn't going to at all.

We started emailing each other and decided to meet in person after about a month. We went to a little restaurant for our first date. About three minutes into our conversation, she got right to telling me what was important: that she had two incurable diseases she caught while being a nurse 30 years ago; that she was in so much pain all the time, she couldn't have sex; and that she was still legally married. I admired the way she didn't play games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strangely enough, K.C. didn't end up dying because of those diseases. She was part of a drug trial and was cured. But six months later, she was diagnosed with cancer. So I knew the last kiss was coming. One day, when I visited her, I kissed her on the couch at her home in Sonoma. That was the last time I saw her. She called me the night she passed away. K.C. went to sleep and never woke up.

We went for oysters. We were having a fun, casual time. Then, at the end of the evening, he lunged at me. It felt like he was coming from every direction. It was like an \"omni kiss,\" where there's tongue and hands and this and that. It was so passionate and unusual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I went out of town for a week for Thanksgiving [and came down with a cold]. By the time I got off the plane, I was in full-blown sick mode. But of course this guy still wanted to see me. It was a strange reunion because we couldn’t kiss. I was sick, so I couldn't breathe. Also, my nose was leaking.

What are you talking about?\" Just when I was well enough to kiss again, no more kisses would be had. It's taught me to be more explicit with dudes about what I'm looking for.

So I sat at her bedside and held her hand and talked to her. When it was time to leave I said, “I’m going to kiss you now.\" And as I leaned in to kiss her, Loren puckered her lips. I’ll never forget it. She had not fluttered her eyes or moved in any way the whole time I'd been talking to her, until I told her I was going to kiss her. And I have to say, it looked like it took effort to pucker her lips, like she really wanted to make it clear that she was listening to me, that she had heard what I said, that she was there with me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725954\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11725954 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/erin-tattoo-3-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"The tattoo on Erin's back which inspired her teacher's love poem\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The tattoo on Erin's back which inspired her teacher's love poem. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Erin S.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Erin, 35\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI'm a single mom of a toddler, and was coming out of a long relationship when I ended up in an intense emotional affair with a teacher at a summer program I was attending. He had a daughter the same age as mine, and was in a supposedly monogamous relationship with her mom. The first time we met, in the open, we talked for over an hour. Later, we met in secret three times. It was never more than kissing, but I'd never been kissed like that in my entire life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the last day of the program, he wrote a poem about his summer, his heart, and the experience with me, and read it out loud to the entire class. No one understood except me. The last night of the program we shared a goodbye kiss in my car. It was distracted and sad. I didn't show up on campus for my exit interview the next day. The whole thing was tragic, beautiful, and totally against who I am.

He was playful, sweet and smelly. I was around nine when we had to put him down because he was old and sick. I remember my parents telling me today was the day. I was sad all day. I hung out with Ripper and cuddled with him and he didn't really want to move much. He was just laying there the whole time. I fell asleep for a while with Ripper, and I remember my parents waking me up and saying, \"It's time for him to go.\" I remember looking him in the eyes and I gave him a little kiss on the forehead. He looked at me. It seemed like he knew that this was his time, like he was ready to go. He kind of smiled. And then he just rested his head. He passed and that was pretty much it. I wasn't ready for it.I still miss him. He was the first stepping stone into my love of all animals. I hope to work with animals someday, perhaps in a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725972\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 240px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11725972\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Olivia-Sally-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Olivia and her brother on an early family trip to Disneyland\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Olivia-Sally-copy.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Olivia-Sally-copy-160x213.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Olivia and her brother on an early family trip to Disneyland. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Olivia S)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia, 16\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>When I was 14, I went to Disneyland with my family. I had a crush on this guy, Kyle. I found out he was also going to Disneyland with his family. So I texted him and we ended up meeting up at the park. We went on the Winnie the Pooh ride. We'd flirted before, so it wasn't completely a surprise when we started holding hands. While we were on the ride, he moved his head around to the front of my face, leaned in and his lips touched mine. And in a second, my first kiss was gone. I was devastated. I pulled away. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We didn't even talk about it. We got off the ride. We weren't holding hands anymore. I said, \"I'll see you around.\" And we went back to our families. That was the end of the day for us, and the last time I kissed Kyle. I hoped my first kiss was going to be with someone whom I was in love with, maybe on a mountain, maybe watching the sunset. That was the ideal. So having strayed from that was something I really had difficulty processing. Nothing's going to be perfect, is what I've learned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725973\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1350px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11725973\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"Tom in San Francisco.\" width=\"1350\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth.jpg 1350w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/TWH-teeth-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1350px) 100vw, 1350px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tom in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Tom H.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tom, 47\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>I've been a gay man my whole adult life.

It was kind of custom that everyone on New Year's Eve would go out, drink as much alcohol as humanly possible, and then throw empty bottles at the police. I wasn't out to everyone, but Sarah knew I was gay. And then suddenly we were snogging and had this really passionate kiss. Eventually, we both blinked and finished. I think we probably had strong feelings for each other. Maybe it was just sort of sealing a friendship or something, in a crazy, teenage, hormonal way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Unlike first kisses, last kisses are often painful, awkward or sad.

We started emailing each other and decided to meet in person after about a month. We went to a little restaurant for our first date. About three minutes into our conversation, she got right to telling me what was important: that she had two incurable diseases she caught while being a nurse 30 years ago; that she was in so much pain all the time, she couldn't have sex; and that she was still legally married. I admired the way she didn't play games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strangely enough, K.C. didn't end up dying because of those diseases. She was part of a drug trial and was cured. But six months later, she was diagnosed with cancer. So I knew the last kiss was coming. One day, when I visited her, I kissed her on the couch at her home in Sonoma. That was the last time I saw her. She called me the night she passed away. K.C. went to sleep and never woke up.

He was playful, sweet and smelly. I was around nine when we had to put him down because he was old and sick. I remember my parents telling me today was the day. I was sad all day. I hung out with Ripper and cuddled with him and he didn't really want to move much. He was just laying there the whole time. I fell asleep for a while with Ripper, and I remember my parents waking me up and saying, \"It's time for him to go.\" I remember looking him in the eyes and I gave him a little kiss on the forehead. He looked at me. It seemed like he knew that this was his time, like he was ready to go. He kind of smiled. And then he just rested his head. He passed and that was pretty much it. I wasn't ready for it.I still miss him. He was the first stepping stone into my love of all animals.

We'd flirted before, so it wasn't completely a surprise when we started holding hands. While we were on the ride, he moved his head around to the front of my face, leaned in and his lips touched mine. And in a second, my first kiss was gone. I was devastated. I pulled away. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We didn't even talk about it. We got off the ride. We weren't holding hands anymore. I said, \"I'll see you around.\" And we went back to our families. That was the end of the day for us, and the last time I kissed Kyle. I hoped my first kiss was going to be with someone whom I was in love with, maybe on a mountain, maybe watching the sunset. That was the ideal. So having strayed from that was something I really had difficulty processing.

As of two years ago, 19 percent of them have been married twice and 5 percent three or more times. But 75 percent have tied the knot only once, countering the widespread notion that divorce is rampant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of those unions have, in fact, lasted a long time. As of 2009, 6 percent of currently wed women had been married for at least 50 years. The median age for a first marriage last year was 26.6 for women and 29 for men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To keep those marriages going, candy, jewelry and flowers are always useful, and the Census Bureau took a look at how those particular enticements have been doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau reported that California led the nation three years ago, with 122 manufacturing establishments that produced chocolate and cocoa -- a $13.5 billion industry in this country in 2011. The state also was ahead of the pack in making non-chocolate confectionary products, with 56 businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were almost 23,400 jewelry stores in the United States three years ago. Last February, they sold an estimated $2.8 billion in merchandise. By comparison, there were about 15,300 florists in 2011. And last year alone, through October, the total value of fresh-cut roses amounted to almost $355 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it’s clear that the accoutrements of romance add up to big business, not that anyone would doubt it, especially this month. Equally unsurprising: In 2011, Nevada was the most popular state as far as places to get married, followed by Hawaii.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond its usual outpouring of data, the Census Bureau even had something to say about where the day originated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Opinions differ as to who was the original Valentine, but the most popular theory is that he was a clergyman who was executed for secretly marrying couples in ancient Rome. In A.D. 496, Pope Gelasius I declared Feb. 14 as Valentine Day.

As of two years ago, 19 percent of them have been married twice and 5 percent three or more times. But 75 percent have tied the knot only once, countering the widespread notion that divorce is rampant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of those unions have, in fact, lasted a long time. As of 2009, 6 percent of currently wed women had been married for at least 50 years. The median age for a first marriage last year was 26.6 for women and 29 for men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To keep those marriages going, candy, jewelry and flowers are always useful, and the Census Bureau took a look at how those particular enticements have been doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bureau reported that California led the nation three years ago, with 122 manufacturing establishments that produced chocolate and cocoa -- a $13.5 billion industry in this country in 2011. The state also was ahead of the pack in making non-chocolate confectionary products, with 56 businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were almost 23,400 jewelry stores in the United States three years ago. Last February, they sold an estimated $2.8 billion in merchandise. By comparison, there were about 15,300 florists in 2011. And last year alone, through October, the total value of fresh-cut roses amounted to almost $355 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it’s clear that the accoutrements of romance add up to big business, not that anyone would doubt it, especially this month. Equally unsurprising: In 2011, Nevada was the most popular state as far as places to get married, followed by Hawaii.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond its usual outpouring of data, the Census Bureau even had something to say about where the day originated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Opinions differ as to who was the original Valentine, but the most popular theory is that he was a clergyman who was executed for secretly marrying couples in ancient Rome. In A.D. 496, Pope Gelasius I declared Feb. 14 as Valentine Day. Esther Howland, a native of Massachusetts, is given credit for selling the first mass-produced Valentine cards in the 1840s.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Facts for Features” covered \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff03.html\">Black History Month\u003c/a> as well this February. \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff05.html\">Women’s History Month\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff02.html\">St. Patrick’s Day\u003c/a> are coming up in March.
