But really. I actually love Valentine's Day, whether or not I'm in a relationship, because it reminds me of how blessed I am to love and be loved by so many amazing people. I want to take time to let some of the amazing people in my life know why I love them:
Mom
Because I can tell you any and everything, and because you are my best friend.

You are precious Rachel! The fact that you took the time to say such beautiful things about all of your friends, speaks mountains about who you are and why we all love you too!
