While sipping a cup of coffee in the dining room of my boyfriend's parent's home, his mother asks me if she told me about the ornaments on her tree.
"No," I answered with a smile.
"Well let me tell you about my tree." She got up from her chair and I followed her to the tree.
She told me about each ornament and their meanings. There was a semi truck on the tree that reminded her of my son and I smiled. The cowboy boot was definitely my boyfriend.
She paused for a moment and smiled. "This one," she says and points at the gold heart near the top of the tree, "reminds me of you. The golden heart."
I was astonished and speechless. How could she think so highly of me in the short amount of time I had known her? I smiled and said "Thank you" and gave her a hug, holding back the joyous tear that wanted to fall.
It was such a sweet thing to say. I am still speechless and hope that I never let her down. At least now I know where her son gets his sweetness.
Brought tears to my eyes! I Wanted to read more! And it is easy to think so highly of you in such a short amount of time. When we were 17 and met I knew within about 5 minutes that you would be in my heart forever!
