This is awesome and I'm so happy it was a hit! I just re-read my post which you pasted below and it made my smile and remember the joy of the moment when I gave her that gift all over again. I stand by every word I wrote about how terrible we all are at acknowledging our own worth and how wondrous it can feel to be reminded of it by someone we value and love.

Thrilled it worked out for you and that it gave her a feeling I'm sure she every bit deserved. One thing I neglected to put in my original post is how beyond the amazing way you made her feel, one of the great benefits of the gift is the self-serving reminder that you nailed it. We all mess up and can be forgetful or short or cruel or shitty to even the people we'd die for. So it can feel good to remember in the midst of those moments that, hey, there was time you tore the laces off one and put it in the upper decks. And that you too probably deserve more credit than you give yourself on most days.

Thanks for sharing. And happy birthday to Mrs. StoLat.
