Everything in life is a little better when people tell you they love you. Who doesn't love to be loved? Are there ever times you feel like you say "I love you" so much it doesn't seem as important? There is one person I can think of that always says I love you so meaningfully. My Uncle Kevin. You can hear it in his voice. He doesn't sound distracted or like it is just another sentence. He never drops the "I" and just says love you like I am sometimes guilty of. He really means it. That's a good feeling and I think everyone should say I love you with meaning and purpose.
Hallmark may be making millions on this made-up holiday, but not from me. I will be sharing the love right here on my blog. I am vowing not to buy Valentine's Day cards because I hope the people nearest and dearest to me already know how much I love them. Starting with this guy:
Cameron, you are an amazing husband and father. I am blessed to have you and I am thankful for all you do to provide for Collin and I. Being a stay at home mom has always been my dream and you make it all possible. I couldn't ask for a better man to share my life with. I look forward to a lifetime of memories with you. I love you!
Collin, you make my cheeks hurt because you keep me smiling all day long! You are the best baby ever (and I'm not just saying that cause I'm your mama.) I love watching you learn new things every day. The excitement on your face brings me so much joy. I love you!
Dad, every girl wants a husband like their dad. I knew Cameron was the one for me because he is a hard worker and provider just like you. Thank you for always being there for us and thank you for being a great Papa to Collin. I love you!
Mom, there are so many qualities as a wife, mother and friend I have learned from you. Patience, love, energy, generosity, forgiveness. The list goes on and on. Thank you for your love and support in all I do and thank you for being Collin's Yaya. I love you!
My Bros, you may look nothing alike but you all have a heart of gold. If I ever need anything I know I can count on you guys. Jeremiah you have a great sense of humor, Josh you are such a hard worker and Goo you are an amazing husband and father. I love you!
Don & Joan, thank you for creating quite possibly the best man ever! I'm very lucky to be part of your family. Thank you for your love and support. Collin is blessed to have you as his Grandpa and Grandma JoJo. I love you!
Grandpa & Grammy, thank you for a lifetime of fun summer vacations, the savings bonds sitting in my safe, Valentine's Day cards with $1 I remember getting until high school, movie and lunch dates for childhood birthdays and trident gum. I love you!
Deeds, Mo & Auds, thank you for always being like sisters to me. What more could a cousin ask for? My day just isn't complete if I haven't heard one of your voices. The Jackson 5 makes me smile no matter what mood I am in. Thank you for showing so much love and attention to Gummy Bear. He loves his Aunties. I love you!
Natalie, you have been part if my life for 17 years! The best laughs, memories old and new, Zeni-ya lunches, rollerblading days I could ever have are spent with you. Friend, thank you for your loyalty. I love you!
Happy Valentine's Day! I am blessed with a large circle of family and friends and I love you all. It would take me a week to name all the people that hold a special place in my heart. If you aren't mentioned above just know you aren't forgotten.
I think I'll take this one.
He loves them almost enough to put down his
