But for me, this day has nothing to do with the consumeristic holiday that people give into. Nope. Today is a day about my auntie.
The 14th of February is her birthday. And while I may not be able to celebrate with her today, I will make sure to celebrate it on the 24th when she comes into Flagstaff!
We're kind of two peas in a pod. A soul that's been in my life for forever. A person who has encouraged me through out my entire life and sends me boxes full of tooth brushes and tooth paste. Because we all know how dental hygeine is important.
I am a very lucky lady to have someone so amazing in my life. She's independent, she's smart, and she's goofy. All characteristics I love in people. And she's a genuine person who recognizes peoples feelings and showers the ones she loves with nothing but love and smiles.
She listens to me rant about all the bull-shit that seems to be in my head lately, and she lets my cry and doesn't judge me when I have snot running down my face at a fast rate. She don't care.
She loves my fake girlfriend who I took to see a few years back. She appreciates music and how it can touch and move our soul. She loves my art work and encourages me to do more.
She'll always be my valentine, and I will always be her. And I know that no matter what, she's one I can count on through thick and thin.
So, happy birthday, my dearest auntie. I love you so very much. And I am going to till my dyin' day. And in the next life too. But luckily, we don't have to worry about that anytime soon.
Oh My Gosh, It is I who is the lucky one...thank you so much for this beautiful piece! Heart and Soul, mine to share with you.
