Valery M. Ortiz Instagram – You see?! I Forty freakin’ WON! I had the most epic birthday surprise (MINUTES after the most epic proposal) thanks to every single person in that room. People often tell me that I have “a lot of friends”. Some continue to mention they have a tight circle because they value intimate connections. An indirect way of boasting quality over quantity. And although that can be true in so many cases – it’s absolutely not mine. My friends along the years have truly become like family. I am so thankful to all of you for making my already unforgettable birthday the most emotional and epic one to date! I’ve lived many different chapters of my life with each of you. Ya’ll have seen me celebrate the biggest wins and cry through all the deepest losses. Again and again. Thank you. For ALL of it. I love you!! 🥹
