Oh man—you told this well. I was on the roller coaster of emotions right there with the anticipation—

What’s striking to me is that when I read where you even remembered a clue ona gift your dad gave you years earlier—I was going to reply, “it’s fascinating what we remember—“

Later—that’s the exact line you used as you look back on this event. I can see how the gift had almost an element of “aha—I gotcha!”—which takes always the whole joy of giving a gift and watching them unwrap….its not odd you feel the way you do.

I got a chill when you said, it represented what was hidden in your marriage. Wow—insightful and wise. I’m sorry it led to that divorce—but glad you’ve found your one.

Glad you took the lessons and continue to shower your loved ones with love.
Thanks for the reminder of what true gift giving looks like and feels like.

Memorable story Mike! 🤍🤍🤍
