Box of Time

Beloved Husband presented Herself with an unexpected Valentine's Day gift last night:  lovely earrings in her birthstone, accompanied by another tiny set (for her second set of ear piercings) in the shape of an animal that has significance for them.  She was truly surprised, and touched. There has been more than one occasion in the past couple of months that Herself has disintegrated into weeping because her Beloved is so very busy and has so little time to spare for her.  The fact that he went out of his way and used his rare and valuable time to find this particular gift, as well as to present it to her at a moment when the Offspring were in bed and he and she were both still awake (a rare occasion!), means a great deal to her.

Thank you, Beloved.
