Today is the one day where we are encouraged to be brazen and confess our undying love and affection for another being. To wear our heart on our sleeve and speak the words that will melt forever into our lovers soul. Ah, the reds, whites & pinks of Valentines day, the sparkling hearts and googly eyes, romantic candle light dinners and champagne flutes bubbling golden nectar. Valentines cards and candies, sweet chocolate covered strawberries and the deep red roses. Ahh, Love. El Oh Vee Ee. We love our significant other's, even though at times we feel as though they may not be deserving of it, we love our children because they are a part of us, walking, talking (or in Marleigh's case wiggling, cooing) mini me's. We love our family even through times they are crazy and out of line. We love our friends because they are the only ones we can actually choose to have in our lives but most importantly, we ourselves are loved. That is what we have to keep in mind. So if you are one of the unlucky ones who don't have someone to hold onto this Vday don't worry your little heart, because chances are, there are some very deserving somebodies within arms reach for you to love. So grab them quick! before they get picked up and give them a tight squeeze, tell them you love them and make sure they know! Grab some paper & crayons pull out those three lovely love colors, and start doodling hearts around their name. List the things you love about them most. When they see all the reasons why you love them, I'm sure it'll make their heart sing! Happy Valentines Day Everyone, if you are reading this, I just want to tell you now in case I don't get to tell you later, that I Love YOU, with all of my heart, forever and always,
Kelli Ray
