Thank you for stopping by my thread and your bday wishes! So sweet!!
My husband and I enjoyed our dinner at Outback, and Lord of the Rings. They really did a great job making this last movie!
So, in the car, on the way home, he tells me that he's so excited about giving me his present. And he now has to come up with a Christmas present idea that will top this one...not sure if he can.
I tell him, "You do know that by being my friend everyday, you've already given me the best gift you ever could."
He took my hand and told me he was happy to hear me say that.
So, we get home, he tells me to go do my before bed routine and then come downstairs.
I do. He has me sit in my chair and close my eyes.
I can hear the microwave going and then beeping.
Then he lays something very warm and wonderful smelling on my chest.
It's an herbal stress pillow!
It's very pretty, smells great, and is the perfect weight.
It sits right on the area of my chest that hurts when I have panic attacks.
This was such an incredibly thoughtful gift from him. Something I would never expect he'd consider getting! A huge 180 on his part.
He told me that it was a practical luxury item!
Folks, it was very warm and the perfect weight. He told me he imagines me coming home from a hard day at work, heating the pillow up and relaxing for a bit.
I told him thank you so many times.
He told me he hoped it show me how much he loves me. He didn't look me in the eye when he said it, and his head was hanging down like he was ashamed. Having him say that just hurt my heart. It seems that he's still feeling very guilty...and I don't want him to feel that way!
He also told me, "Thank you for putting up with me."
His Dad and step-mom sent me a gift through Fed-ex as well as a Bday card through regular mail.
I told him how much I appreciated that they never forgot my birthday. Told him they are so sweet to me.
