Life’s Like That

Every year for my birthday, my husband buys me a particular perfume that has a delicate floral scent that I especially love.

This past year, with money tight, I told him not to bother getting me a gift. Instead, I asked that he handwrite a beautiful letter encapsulating our 25 years together.

My husband leaned in, gently took my hand, and begged, “Can I please just buy you a bottle of perfume?”
