What the hell is a Shallot? I have never heard of that!

Girl, thank you for your love these past few days, and of course, always. I'm so embarrassed by the attention (I didn't expect to get from this), but your love and concern has really touched me.

I honestly can't even put into words how much you mean to me. All I can say right now is that I love you.
