  • Pick One….

    A few months back, C. knelt down and held out two velvet boxes.  Pick one he whispered.  I pointed to the smaller, gray box and was rewarded with a beautiful ring; gold, with three diamond hearts.  It was his grandmother’s, yet fit perfectly.  Since then, I had thought seldom of the second box. 

    Next Friday is C. and my anniversary; part of me knew I would be presented with the second gift.

    But, C. decided to surprise me a week early.

    We sat on the swing, under the deck; his arms around me and my head tucked underneath his chin.  I could sense his smile, and soon he gave me the necklace.  It matches the ring perfectly; a delicate gold heart with three stones, curved and threaded through a chain…

    I feel very special right now.  Very loved and very spoiled….

    I told him that.  He only chuckled and insisted I wasn’t spoiled, not yet, anyway…he then kissed my cheek and resumed holding me.  My May…I love my May…

    Whether or not you should
    So somewhere in my youth or childhood
    I must have done something good”  -
