It's the little things...

..that show me just how much he loves me.

Like this morning, when he came home from PT, all sweaty and breathless, clutching a bunch of flowers he had bought for me.

Like this lunchtime, when he came to my office to escort me to lunch instead of having me meet him somewhere.

Like over lunch when he took my hand (he was in uniform; Public Displays of Affection are a no-no) in the middle of a crowded eatery and said that although things have changed since we first met and got married, his love for me has only grown (if you knew my husband, you'd understand what a big deal that is - he is the king of non-mushiness).

Like this evening, when he touches my shouler or neck or head as he walks past where I'm sitting.

Romance isn't always about grandiose gestures. It's not always about down-on-one knee proposals and magnificent public declarations of everlasting, undying love. Love doesn't always require huge diamonds....

....sometimes love can be found in the small things. That's where our love lies.

Hmmn,

Your right about the little things of course, but ya gotta admit a rock now and then never hurt anything now did it? : )

Tell ya something else not that it matters, right now Im in a long distance relationship (totally by choice if not design) and when I met this chick she had been a year out of a marriage. Honestly a year wasnt that much time because she was married for ten but Im getting off the point altho I was worried about the year thing. When I met her she had all this .ooh I hate to admit it........"SILVER",
Now I guess silver has a place like table settings and such but the first thing I did was realize that NO WOMAN that is going to be seen with me with 2 hands of silver.....lol, So of course I couldnt dump her just for bad taste. (I remember thinking what a cheap pri** her old man must have been) I have a pretty unsuual occupation altho its more widely known now it has also become MUCH EASIER thanx to the PC, I am a proffessional poker player and so when I do go out here and again I may not dress in a Tux but Im cleaned up nice so I decided yeah, she has to have 2 hands of gold and rocks, I wont lie the biggest is only a Carat altho its like a gemstone and I got it for a song in a pawnshop, Im a product of the streets and I am real at home in a pawn shop and U should see thier faces when I ask for a "loop"....... ok, but I never intended this to be so long of an answer so let me just say that I have 2 fingers to go I think but were not together even a year yet and yes theres even smaller diamonds on her pinkies, I just dont know what some guys are thinking when it comes to their women but while I dont give her these things just cuz I need to buy affection and I guess it can sound that way I did it all because I knew she would like it and I didnt want to be seen with a chick with 2 hands of siver to be honest, so I guess what Im saying is your right, its about little things.................8 fingers of em never hurt anyone! And congrats on your latest anniversary as well.

Hey Dharma, ...................... ya think thats pretty vain now that I think about it?

Dear Dr Cynical,

I have never been a believer in expensive gifts as tokens of a person's affections. I myself prefer silver (or white gold) as I think that yellow gold and big diamonds can look cheap and tacky. I like simplicity, and silver seems to lend itself to simplicity better than gold does.

To me, a bunch of handpicked flowers given with love means more than 2 dozen commercially grown roses ever could.

As for diamonds...the more conservative, the better, for me anyway. I really don't like anything bigger than a full carat, to me larger stones just look gaudy.

I guess what I was trying (am trying) to say is that I neither want or need gold and diamonds and flowers to know that someone loves me. After all, as His Holiness says...'we only have 10 fingers on which to display our rings'.
