Valentine’s Day is all about love, but there’s no rule that says it has to be all about romantic love. February 14 is also a great time to show appreciation for friends – the old ones, the close ones, the fast ones, the true ones, and most importantly, the best ones.
So, how do you say Happy Valentine’s Day to someone who isn’t a romantic partner, but is nevertheless a VIP in your life? Given the holiday, the obvious advice is to speak from the heart. To give your heart a little conversation starter, here are some Valentine’s Day messages for friends of all stripes.
