Valentine’s Day is just five days away. These are just a few Valentines made in the community to help cheer senior citizens and veterans through Blue Ridge Cable’s Touch a Heart Program. Handmade greetings came from children in school, day care centers, Girl Scout troops, church groups and families. One woman sent in hand-crocheted teddy bears. The Times News will be featuring stories on Monday about romantic couples and advice for the best relationship. We are accepting your responses through 5 p.m. Thursday. Send your love stories to

tneditor@tnonline.com. Pictures are welcome, too. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
