So, it was his birthday and I looked up for the best for this celebration with him alone in mind. We have actually never celebrated our birthdays together. I feel that this is certainly about to change. The closest was when I visited the coastal town where he worked and for the first time, I delivered his birthday gift in person. That was many years ago…
Fast forward to the day coming up, I carefully packed everything up, making sure that nothing is broken but also very carefully wrapped. I mean i do love him…he should be able to tell it from the package. One of the most important things for me is a card. It is incomplete without it. Given the occasion, this was a birthday card. I am still trying to figure out his favorite color. I used to think it was green, grey then white but I decided that blue looked great on him, so I made it his favorite color.
Back to this story, he receives the package and is as always very grateful. We opened it up together as we have so many times. He was excited and passed on the joy to me too. Yes, I was excited that he was excited.
Suddenly, I see him flip through …then he finds the card, opens and reads it out loud…. then flips it upside down and I am on the other end wondering if I forgot something.
Him: I thought there was a letter.
Me: I didn’t write you one this time.
Him: Sigh! I didn’t get a letter.
Me: (to myself) I should have written him a letter. Why didn’t I write him a letter?
Safe to say I am not sure why I didn’t write him a letter yet I always do. Clearly nothing replaced the letter but since we have forever. I am writing one now.
❤️❤️❤️
