NightTrain sent me a WONDERFUL Valentine's Day gift! [View All]

As many of you know, Dean (NightTrain) and I are one of the DU "couples". Unfortunately, we live 555 miles apart, and have never actually met in person, although we've talked a lot on the phone and emailed frequently.

That will change during his birthday weekend of March 19, when we plan on meeting in PA, halfway between our respective states (he's in CT, I'm in OH).

Anyway, I recently received his Valentine's Day gift in the mail, and just wanted to share it with DU, our second family. First, there was the lovely card, which was just perfect (not too sappy or serious, but not too trite or over-the-top humorous/vulgar, either). And tucked inside the card was the gift itself, a special CD he'd burned himself, of the original version of "I Only Have Eyes For You"; the CD itself was labeled a Valentine's Day 2004 dedication from him to me.

This is the first Valentine's Day gift I've had in about fourteen years (I've hated VD day during that time, since I was always alone), and let me tell you it is SOOOOOOOOOO nice to not only receive one again, but such a special one from such a neat person as Dean is REALLY wonderful! I felt just like a little kid at Christmas when I opened it.

I didn't think it would ever happen, but this time, it looks like it finally has! It's just taken 39 years, that's all.
