Continuing Forward--Beth's 3rd thread

[Beth 83]

I know, I know. I've been MIA. I have 3 major weddings coming up and I've just been super busy.

But, I wanted to let you all know what happened.

I bought H an amazing Italian watch for his 30th. He LOVES watches. It was on backorder, so I didn't give it to him on his actual birthday in March and I hadn't mentioned it because I was still up in the air as to whether or not I was even going to give it to him.

Well, It came in and I gave it to him. He loved it. The next day, he wrote me this:
"I just wanted to drop a line to thank you for my watch. It is seriously so beautiful. At lunch today, a reporter sitting across from me kept doing the Brad Lawrence 'cat watching tennis' thing. I think I was gesticulating overtime just to mess with him after a while.

I know it was expensive, but the thought you put into it was of far more value to me than the dollar amount. You clearly know me better than anyone else ever has or ever will.

Thank you again."

I wrote back:
"You are very welcome. Familiarity comes in pretty handy when gift giving! To me, that watch and your left wrist were just meant to be together. :o)"

The way I feel about it?
I feel good. You guys: I really don't know if I want to be back w. H. When I see him, I feel like he is in exactly the same place he has always been and I've gotten so far. I realize how much burden I felt being with him.

But, I feel good giving him that and seeing him. I also feel good that it seems he recognizes a little about what I mean to him.
