*A Love letter to D* Dear Journal, Today is Valentine’s Day, and I’m taking a moment to truly appreciate the second most important person in my life—D. God is first of course. I am a product of love and help. I didn’t get here on my own, and I would be lying if I said otherwise. I have been supported, encouraged, and lifted in ways that words can’t fully capture. And when I think of all the love I’ve been blessed with, you are at the very heart of it. How many years was I when we met? I can’t seem to remember… Or maybe I do. But I’ll save that story for another time. I remember when we met at the shopping mall—baby girl was just minding her business when… Actually, let’s scratch that. Today isn’t for epistles; today is simply about love. And love is exactly what you have given me—pure, unwavering, and selfless. You have stood by me in every season, supporting me in ways that go beyond words. All I have to do is speak, and you move heaven and earth to make it happen. You believe in me, you give me wings to fly, and you push me to be the best version of myself. I don’t take your love for granted. And on a day like this, I want you to know just how much you mean to me. Forgive me for not saying this often enough, but I see you. I see your sacrifices, your patience, and the countless ways you put our family first. And I love you deeply, endlessly and unapologetically. Cheers to ninety more years of love, bliss, and happiness. Maybe not ninety… actually, let’s make that ninety-plus years. Lol. Happy Valentine’s Day, baby. Love always, _Aby 💕_
