I'll also note that he changed my life and Emmett's, as I was pretty hesitant to embrace all the work and responsibility that comes with joining a tournament team when Emmett was a wee bit of 8 years old. But you talked about Rob and his work and that was a big influence on my decision. So a room full of trophies, and a six banners over Albany Little League later, it was absolutely the right choice for Emmett.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh holy Christ, I just got a text from one of his boys--the one he was probably closest to--asking if I had a valentine today, and if not would I please be his because he owes it to his big brother. Bawling now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aw, man. He had a marvellous impact, if they'll reach out to you this way. That's a lovely in memoriam.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maria, that's amazing. Hec is right, he left a wonderful legacy with those kids.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
That is so sweet. Kids can be so wonderful to the people they love.

He's a young man of 18 now who is playing in the Ontario junior hockey league. He should be a cocky little ass but he's one of the best young men I know.

And I guess he's your Valentine today. Putting it together it looks like Rob's legacy is trying to save Valentine's Day from being a total disaster for you. Maybe you should listen to that. Let a little grace into this moment.
