I think I have fallen into the trap of stereotyping. Of my precious one. Not stereotyping him in terms of other men, but in terms of himself. I have been taking his behaviour in certain situations and respects and extrapolated it to apply to all areas.
My down-to-earth, unsentimental and somewhat undemonstrative husband is the one who always remembers our wedding anniversary. As for me, if you asked me quickly, I would be unsure whether it is the 20th or the 21st - for some reason I always get it mixed up. (It is the 20th) And while I remember in general when it is, I would miss the actual day quite easily. But mpo always remembers, and has a card or a gift.
This year it was a pot of white tulips.
This might sound lovely in general, but not exactly remarkable. But there is more to it, making this an extraordinarily meaningful gift. Tulips have been woven through our history in a lot of significant events and at key moments. The gift to me means a celebration of our relationship, a way of giving thanks that we met, and an affirmation of our love.
Thank you, Precious. Me too.

How about now, Huwge?
Font's a bit larger, and the face has changed.
(What I won't do for my public... ;-) )
And thanks - I finally got him a card. A beautiful, heartfelt one, but still a day late. *blush*
