The notebook

and then on the evening of january 4th your wife says....Hey I got a present for you. She gives you a package wrapped in paper. And when you feel the package....you think.....hmmm isnt that the notebook I got from work for Christmas 2015? She says yes it is that notebook, but I suggest you open it, else you really gone miss something. Carefully you unwrap the package and indeed it is THE notebook with on the cover: 'the one scentense per day book'.
You always had the idea to use it to take short notes, but you never did and so the notebook was in the cupboard brandnew as far as you knew.
Then you open it and on EVERY page is a small message especially for and about you which she wrote in secret day by day. The book was always there, you held it in your hands several times, but never opened it.
If someone makes the efford to every day write a short message to tell you how special you are and how much she loves you and appreciates your company in her life...despite all the differences between you and her...then I say....Thats love...an almost 34 year love !!!!
Love you to Carin Woudenberg-Borgers
