Known for his outdoorsmanship, which president wrote in his diary, "The light has gone out of my life," when both his mother and wife died on Valentine's Day?

Although Theodore Roosevelt is known as a tough guy, he was really a teddy bear (in fact, that's where the stuffed animal got its name). He received a double-blow on Valentine's Day in 1884, when he lost the two most important women in his life. His mother, Mittie, died of typhoid fever, and his wife, Alice Lee, died of a kidney disease known as Bright’s disease two days after giving birth to their daughter.
