Yesterday, I was looking for something and, while I was rummaging through my stuff, I found a Christmas card I bought for Ted and forgot about. I decided that if I save it for next Christmas, I’ll probably forget about it again, so I added “at any other time of the year” to the “especially at Christmas” line and put the card out for Ted to discover. Just before we went to bed, I noticed a card on my dresser. It was a Christmas card from Ted with the added wish for a “Happy Mother’s Day.” He said he’d bought the card about two years ago and kept forgetting about it.
One year, we bought each other identical cards for our anniversary. When you’ve been married this long, do two minds become one?
