I didnt always get romantic gifts for anniv. or Val. Day. Our early years together were so hard that buying a card was a stretch. We often made our own cards to each other, and sometimes it was a favorite candy bar. Those meant as much to me as the diamonds I got as life became easier. Dot get me wrong, I love the jewelry also, but the love that he shows me everyday means more to me than any purchased gift . Don was my first love, we met when I had just turned 15 and he was 16. Ours was the marriage that wasnt suppose to last.
