i'm laughing out loud - not because it's so funny but because it is SOOO CLEVER!!! WHAT A CLEVER AND ROMANTIC WAY TO GET OUT OF GIVING A NOT-SO-ROMANTIC GIFT!!! HOLY COW! THAT WAS GOOOD... REAL GOOD... and i bet THIS YEAR she swooned. :)

My dear chid Heidi, Just ask your loving husband Jason about the romanitc quality of such a gift. He most surly will understand it is a gift that comes from the soul...as the card explains so well. The recollection of the event turned mom into a Arizona monsoon. My estrogen free opinion is that it is physical proof of th validity of my pledged love 41 years ago. You see, it was and is the gift that keeps on giving and holds more meaning with each passing year, how can that not be the ultimate example ROMANTIC? I also gave her diamond earings that Christmas the memory of which doed not elicite that kind of response now. We spoke of them the other day and the pink poodle they arrived on. Diamonds only earned a smile. What makes Valentines Day for me today is my puddle of proof that I am the real gift she always treasured.

Not that I'm braggin (but you all know I am) I just wanted to point out that the picture on the front of the card that Doni took did NOT have a gun in it. Jarrod edited the picture to add the gun and I can't believe how well he did! Doesn't it look just like it really was there when the picture was taken?????!!!!

P.S. I'm always a "silent" reader on Papa's Ponderings but brother you move my heart to long for God and I still am and always will remain the same little sister that always wanted a big brother and got the best in you!!!

see and your reply to me proves even MORE just how GOOOOD you are! AWESOME... i love the heart of the original gift... that while it wasn't girlie and what she would have picked as a "something" to open at the time, the natural love (and friendship) underneath it was EXACTLY what she never knew she always wanted. (ok - she knew the love, she never knew it would come in the form of a valentine's day gun) :)
