Mr LivSimpl,

I know exactly how you feel. I’ve always said that the best presents are the ones that we define the value, not someone else (i.e. Apple says ipod is ‘cool’, ergo - it’s worth $300. I say BS!). Thanks for the touching story.

This shows how times have changed. A man feeling extreme gratitude because his wife ironed his shirts? As a young wife it was simply expected of me, not a cause for even a simple thank you.

Thanks for the reminder - of both the small things that have been done for me and for the small things that I can do for others, if I open my eyes. Thanks!

Don’t you think that the wold would be so much nicer if we all just did simple things for each other? I guess if we start in our own homes maybe it will spread! Thanks for such a great post. You must of a wonderful wife!

What a beautiful post - I so enjoyed reading this! As for my own memory of a meaningful gift: my husband is not a man who gives flowers often, so when he does they mean a lot. When I was pregnant with my last baby I got appendicitis and had to go into surgery. When I woke up from the anaesthesia,my husband was there and he gave me a small bunch of dark purply blue freesias. I don’t remember much during that fog of pain and drugs, but I do remember the freesias.

Thank to everybody for the comments! I admit I was a little nervous posting something so personal - I’m glad to hear it was enjoyed.

Very nice post! I received a similar gift last week. I had a hard week and my girlfriend did everything at home: Cleaning, ironing, errands etc. Normally we do this both together because she is working too. But last week she did not only the urgent things but also my todos (like ironing my shirts etc.). That was very very lovely and helped me a lot!

Once my then boyfriend now husband bought me a box of Popsicles when he was at the grocery store because I had a sore throat. It was that day that I decided to marry him. Not really, but I should have.
