As Valentine’s Day approaches, love can feel especially close—and so can the absence.

If you’re missing someone this weekend, we’d like to invite you to honor them in a simple, quiet way: say their name. A name can carry so much—stories, laughter, little habits, and the kind of love that doesn’t stop when someone is gone. 💙

If you feel comfortable, please share in the comments:
• Their name
• One word that describes them

It can be as simple as “gentle,” “steady,” “funny,” “faithful,” or “strong.” No pressure to explain. No right or wrong way to remember. Just a small act of love—spoken and shared.

And if you know someone who may be walking into Valentine’s Day with a tender heart, consider checking on them today. 🤍
