Gifts of Love and Support

“You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what's written in the stars." Anaïs Nin

TB strongly believes we did not meet by chance. He mentions it often and seems to take comfort in the thought. The quote came to mind because of a wonderful gesture by TB. On Monday, I received two special deliveries, flowers and balloons. The day of their arrival, I learned that my 92-year-old father-in-law probably would not survive the week. He didn’t; passing away a few days later. TB knows nothing about that, but the timing was not lost on me. There’s a story behind the gifts, beyond TB’s desire to express his gratitude. I’m not ready to tell that story here, but my war-hardened tough guy is a compassionate, sensitive man who is looking out for me.
