~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Waiting for me patiently, I saw you standing there
You caught my eye, I saw that wonderful smile you wear
Across the crowded room, watching me as I quickly walk to you
We'd both been waiting anxiously, being so in love, us two
We knew from the long calls and many letters we'd written
We both had with true love been smitten
Both knowing from the beginning, the very start
Pledging to give all ourselves, the deep love from our hearts
Over these years together, our love has increasingly grown
Being a very much stronger love, than either of us has ever known
So as we exchange our gifts together, on this years Christmas Day
One of my gifts to you, my Love, is myself, delighted you'll be, I pray

Ethel,

Best gift in the world is giving of oneself, even in non-romantic situations. May you both know the deepest joy in one another, from one another. Exchanging those gifts,
can only cause you to emanate it
to those around you.  

Hugs and love,  Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

inkedgoddess....
no, we didn't meet on the internet, but we do have a "long-distance" relationship.........that's were the letters and phone calls come from.
Actually, his Dad and step-mother started going to the church my late husband and I belong to. We became very good friends and after my husband passed away, Gary and I started writing to each other. He was going through a painful divorce, so we were each other's crutch, I guess you could say. We became very good friends before it turned into love.....

I wasn't able to get a lot for my Mike this christmas...although he kept telling me he didn't need or want anything...that me and our newborn was all he wanted.

I guess I always feel the need to shower those closest to me with gifts, and that just me wouldn't ever please anyone.

Yes, you must give it away . . .
It becomes much more valuable that way.

Have a Happy Hew Year !

Heather, it sounds to me like your Mike was very satisfied with the gift of you and the precious little baby you gave him, too. It seems to me like you've made him very happy....
