Even if you have managed to find your girlfriend or boyfriend the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, your parents may be hoping for something more sentimental.

Luckily, there are 24 hours dedicated to the love holiday, which gives you plenty of time to send a quick message to show your appreciation for mom and dad on Feb. 14.

Here are a few quotes from Bliss Quote about parents that can be shared with your mother or father in celebration of Valentine’s Day:

  • “One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad.” - Jim DeMint
  • “Behind every young child who believes in himself is a parent who believed first.” - Matthew Jacobson
  • “Parental love is the only love that is truly selfless, unconditional, and forgiving”. - T.P. Chia
  • “There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.” - Henry Ward Beecher
