Valentines DayThere is always so much drama surrounding Valentines Day. I hear endless amounts of people talking about their plans, who they are with, or who they wish they were with. I hear people saying that they don't believe in Valentines Day because it's a "Hallmark" holiday. I chose to disagree. Valentines Day is very special. It's an occasion to show those who you love that they are special to you. When I was growing up, I would always receive a pink "sweetheart" rose from my father. He would always say that no matter who I was with, I would always be his valentine. To this day he always sends me a rose. Last year it was a bouquet delivered to my Residence, this year it was a sweet card and money with instructions to buy myself the roses and to keep the change. So Valentines Day isn't a day to profess your love to a significant other, but to remind those who you love that you love them. If you understand this concept, you will never be alone on Valentines Day.
My extremely sweet roommate Tony bought the girls in the house a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I don't think he realizes what a simple act of kindness did for the moral of the house. They instantly brightened up the house and brought a smile to everyone who saw them.
I just wanted to say thank you to these two special men in my life; for they both realize what it takes to keep the special women in their life happy.

Aww, I love Tony too! It was so sweet of him to remember us! And your parents are too cute.
We'll see if mine remember me today... :(
I have to say that you are surrounded by quite possibly some of the sweetest men I have ever heard of. Tony is such a cutie for buying you ladies flowers! I love how he does things like that. And your dad is so adorable. I can only ever remember doing something for Valentine's Day once as a kid. My dad took my mom and I out for dinner the day before Valentine's Day. Other than that we've never done anything. It's kind of sad now that I think back on it. I know that if I ever have a daughter I will always buy her a Valentine's Day card and a rose. (By me doing that, I clearly mean whomever I am married to and myself will do that I mean) I really truly do think that a father is the most important man in any girls life.
I remember watching Oprah once and Gwyneth Paltrow was on... she told the story of how she came home from school one day and her dad had packed a weekend bag for her and took her to Paris for the weekend. He told her that he wanted to be the first man to take her to Paris because he will always love her no matter what.
I thought that was the sweetest thing ever. I told my dad that and he laughed. It made me so sad. I vowed after that that no matter what, if I ever have a daughter she will know how much she is loved by both her parents. Sometimes all it takes is something little, a hug, a whisper a cute little phone call just to say they love you and they care. You're lucky you have that. Treasure it.
