One winter, I was struggling to pay my bills, working overtime, raising my son alone. I was dating a man who lived 2 hrs away. He knew I couldn't afford wood for my woodburning stove. So he cut down a big tree, cut up the wood, loaded his Toyota truck full, and drove 2 hrs to bring it to me. I was in the kitchen doing dishes when I heard some thumping outside. I opened the door to see him stacking up the wood, trying to be quiet, wanting to surprise me when he finished the job.

I was so touched that he went thru all that physical labor and driving time to do something so nice for me. Yes, it brought tears to my eyes, and I helped him finish stacking the wood so I could get right to showing him the full extent of my appreciation. :-)

a close conversation with the other stating their true feelings and the importance of myself in their life. That to me, was a tremendous gesture of love.

My waterworks dont turn on so easy, so i cant think of anything that has done that. My girlfriend did name two adjacent stars after us both though(as you can pay for that), which was a nice romantic gesture.


i'm sure there's a joke about uranus in this somewhere.

The sweetest gift I have ever gotten was from my youngest daughter. I had surgery and when I got home I felt like hammered crap. Later that day my daughter came in with a handful of wild flowers she had picked by herself. Sounds silly but it made me cry.
