It’s a cold morning and I am in my “morning spot” enjoying a nice cup of freshly brewed coffee from a mug with the words “Hi Handsome” on the side.
An unexpected Christmas gift from you. When did you get it? Was it one of those last two Christmas shopping trips that you were so determined to do? I wonder if you knew then how special it would be to me?
It’s a simple design, with the words only printed on one side (and intended for a right-handed person). So, I must hold it by wrapping my hand around the body of the cup rather than the handle to see the words.
The warmth of the sides transfers straight to my heart and makes me feel like I’m touching you. And I can hear your voice whispering those two simple words. And so, I will treasure this small ceramic gift as it was the last tangible thing that you gave to me. But also, because it allows me to feel your presence every morning.
