Love shows up in powerful ways.

Tonight, Roman D. attended the Air Force Academy Men’s Hockey Fight Cancer game—proudly sponsored by CommonSpirit Health—and it clearly left a mark.

Roman has lost an aunt to cancer, and his mom continues to fight with courage and grit. When he got home, he didn’t just carry gratitude in his heart—he turned it into action, creating a tribute poster to honor CommonSpirit and the care that stands with families like his.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re reminded that love isn’t just flowers and cards. It’s presence. It’s perseverance. It’s standing with one another in the hardest moments.

Roman, thank you for the reminder that hope is still winning—and love is always worth fighting for.
