one for you, one for me

I went Christmas shopping on Saturday, mostly for myself. I wanted to find some perfect gifts that I knew I would just love, to make up for all those gifts I received over the years that only served to show how little I was really known.

I chose the coolest little world map puzzle, for when I was seven, and a pretty turquoise sweater for when I was sixteen. I chose some cute fair-isle gloves and a fashion magazine for when I was nineteen, and a lavender scented neck pillow for when I was twenty-two. And for this year, twenty-five, I chose a teeny, tiny, orange and white striped onesie with a football on it.

It's what I would have put on him, to bring him home that day.
