When the Clever Girls asked us to write about the best gift we ever gave, I will be quite honest, it stumped me. What is the best gift I have ever given? Even now, I’m still befuddled to an extent. However, I think the best one, for me, was life. My husband and I joke all the time that we belong on the Island of Misfit Toys. To this day, we can’t figure out how two misfits like us wound up happy and fulfilled by another person. We had both assumed that we would end of alone and sad. Then one hot day in July, we had the addition to our family. Our gift to ourselves, to our families, to the world.
Our son. Peanut.
The joy and love we have received and given, having this little person changed us forever. We were no longer the selfish young married couple, out every night and doing our own thing. We were a family. Peace and a sense of calm, like neither of us have ever known, entered our lives. Life was no longer about material goods, Roche Bobois furniture, or designer clothes. It was about this little red, wrinkly squirrel that has morphed into the most amazing 10 year old I have ever known. There were a lot of trials and errors, a lot of ups and downs, job losses, illness and death. But through all of it, we have been together.
Tank and I don’t know if we would have made it without this gift sent to us. This boy child who still calls me “Mommy”, not “Mom”, when he wants something or is being cute. Let’s face it, marriage isn’t a picnic and we worked through those first years as a family, stepping lightly in places, diving deep with the help of counseling in others. But through it all, we have had each other and this gift that made us realize how truly blessed we are, in life and love.
