VERY early Gift

Greg said he was leaving for a little while; it was in the afternoon. I asked where he was going and he said, "None of your business." Well, now, you know that had my radar up. Not that I think he would do anything wrong, just that something was up. When he came back, he had a bag in his hand and refused to tell me where he went. Alright then.


A few minutes later he walks into the office room and we had this conversation:


Greg: "I bought your birthday gift."

Me: "Already? It's not until October."

Greg: "Do you want it now?"

Me: (slight hesitation) "No. I can wait. October is a only a couple of months away."

Greg: "But you need it."

Me: "Ohh. It's a "need this gift" type of gift. No, I can wait."

Greg: "But you really need this. I want to give you the gift."

Me: "No, I don't want it." (backing away from him)

Greg: "Pick a hand (he had both of his hands behind his back). Go ahead pick a hand. You're going to get this now."

Me: (good grief, I could only imagine what this "need" gift was) I picked the left hand.

I looked at the box and Greg explained, "I had a dream the other night and it disturbed me. I dreamt that you lost everything on the computer. Everything - all of your journals, poems, blog posts, pictures. Everything was gone and you were crying."

He bought me an external hard drive that is about triple the space as my computer. He set everything up so that it backs up my stuff every night.

So, now, we celebrated both his birthday and my birthday in August. Lol. He was right. It was something I needed. Thank you, Sweetheart. XOXO
