Valentine’s Day is among the many special occasions that we look forward to celebrating every year over here. And we have always celebrated Valentine’s Day as a family and that was how it has been too even with my family back home. I think over the years, celebrating Valentine’s Day has evolved. As I remember back when I was young, Valentine’s Day was only for lovers. Today, everyone celebrates it…lovers, friends, those without partners and even kids or those with kids.
So with Valentine’s Day only two days away, I decided to round up quotes to share with everyone you love. If you’re like me who loves quotes, then this is for you. Much better, I think it will be more special if you will send any of these quotes with some chocolates perhaps or flowers? Or how about balloons or stuffed toys? Do I sound like I’m giving someone a hint? đ
