Happy Esther Day!

Happy Esther Day - let your friends know that you love and appreciate them!!! 💜

"Since August 3rd, 2010, Esther Day has become a holiday that reminds us to verbalize our love for family and friends and let them know how much they mean to us." -- TSWGO on Twitter

"Esther asked that it be a day to say 'I love you' to family and friends--a non-romantic Valentines Day, if you will." -- TSWGO website

"[Esther Earl] came up with the idea of celebrating friends and family and love," Green says in an e-mail to USA TODAY. "The kinds of love that are too often overlooked in our culture: love among friends and family." Green adds that Esther Day "is about telling the people you love that you love them, even when it's difficult to do so -- in fact, especially when it's difficult to do so. We have a holiday for romantic love, but love isn't just about romance, so that's why Esther created Esther Day." -- USA Today TSWGO is "This Star Won't Go Out", a non profit organization started by Esther’s parents which helps families that have cancer-stricken children.

Had an incredible time at last night's Esther Day event through This Star Won't Go Out (tswgo.org) .💜✨ Incredible to see John Green🤩 (author and vlog brother), Sarah Urist Green (The Art Assignment), Jessi (Animal Wonders Montana - and the tegu, black tufted marmoset, three banded armadillo, and grey fox), and Esther's parents Lori and Wayne. Donations are still being accepted for supporting families with childhood cancer.🌠 #ThisStarWontGoOut #feelinggrateful #somuchfun #nerdfighters #dftba https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg1m8GLryqZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
