Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Some say it’s just a “hallmark holiday”, but I think any opportunity to let friends and family know you love them is worth celebrating. Valentine’s Day is not just for lovers. It’s a day to wear red and give a little treat to all those you love. That little treat can be anything from a hug to a box of chocolate to a special  Valentine’s gift basket. Along with that little treat, you may want to include a card or a note with a special Valentine wish. If you need a little inspiration, we’ve put together 15 messages appropriate for anyone on your list.

Oh, and don’t forget to treat yourself to a little something too! Before you can love someone else, you must love yourself! Happy Valentine’s Day!

And here a few sweet poems from child to parent:

Mom, I’ve got some friends
Of each and every kind,
But a better friend than my mother
I’ll never, ever find!
I’m so happy you’re my mom!
I love you.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my
Father/Dad/Daddy
Dad you are my favorite man,
And I sure want you to know,
I’ll always respect and love you, Dad
No matter how big I grow!
I'm lucky to have you as my dad!
I love you.
