Jewells of Thought

In the whole of our relationship it’s been texts and emoji’s. We have talked on the phone a bit as well. For the month of February for Bryan I am using a photo of cherries and chocolate to be my Cherry Kisses metaphor. I can’t reproduce the actual cherry kisses stickers he sends me. However, for my Writing Prompts during this month a have a photo of cherries and chocolate to remind me of his stickers although it’s slightly a different take on what I actually get from him.

This photo of our cherry kisses usually doesn’t come out good when I take photos of it. So that’s why I am using this photo underneath. Plus it has chocolate in the photo and what says Valentines Day more than chocolate.

I have completely lost count how many times I received one and just for fun I also sent one to him. I want to say I did it twice but maybe just once it is his thing to do for me. So I lovingly take them and know exactly what he has told me they mean to him and why he does send them to me.

Obviously you can guess the reason, but it’s our shared understanding. The Lord has given me this thoughtful, lovingly precious man who thinks about little details. Sometimes I feel like a Dodo brain just wanting to be with him in the same state, county and city or town. It just reiterates Grandma’s stern warnings for me again and again. “When you fall you’re gonna fall hard.” Grandma Rosemary ardently believed I would find my man or rather be found by my man. It was meant to happen. I didn’t believe her; I was afraid to believe her. I didn’t want to be hurt again. I surely didn’t expect all this, but she would have loved the cherry Kisses.

Grandma and Grandpa had been to Australia I wonder what she would say to his heavy accent. I fell for a Boston man and I’m getting an Australian accent with him. Apparently I am one of a few people who have this opinion of his accent. Not everyone agrees on that. I thought that was very interesting. I have never had so much peace though that I am the only woman on his mind. He has this old-school New England breeding, someone I never expected to have found me and want such an eclectic country church lady from the midwest.
