I bought my husband his dream watch for our 10th anniversary. He gave me cheap perfume in a plastic bottle. Angry, I tossed it aside and never used it.<\/p>\n
Three weeks later, he died unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
The grief was unbearable. I kept replaying that night, no longer angry at the gift\u2014but at myself for letting disappointment overshadow love.<\/p>\n
Today while cleaning, the bottle fell. The cap popped off, and a folded paper slipped out.<\/p>\n
It was a note from him:<\/p>\n
\u201cI know this perfume is temporary, but next month I\u2019ll surprise you with the necklace you\u2019ve been dreaming about. Thank you for believing in me even when I don\u2019t say it enough. You are my forever gift.\u201d \ud83d\udc94<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
