the things we do for love

It's really hard to fight a love that strong and I'm not quite sure what to do, or if there is anything I do. You see, there is a girl who loves DS2 with all her heart. Her face lights up when she sees him. All she wants to do is sit near him and happiness radiates from her. I think he loves her too, but not nearly with the same intensity.

All summer she brought him gifts. I'd stop her at the front door and say 'Look I know you love him, but he is not going to accept this gift and it needs to stop.' The look on  her face.....the devastation. So she began to try to get him gifts secretly, showing me she was empty handed, and then I'd turn around and there she was, again, trying to give him something.

It stopped when school started. Maybe it was the weather. Maybe things just got busy. But last night, she tried again. I told my husband something was up. You could just hear it in her voice, but he wouldn't believe me. She ran to DS, so excited to share with him and then tripped. and lost her gift. oh the heart wrenching cries that came from her.

The gift is still there, in DS's room. We looked for an hour but couldn't find it. It's amazing what you can get done at 1 AM when the men are all searching for the gift and you can't go back to bed, because that would be rude.

We did not find it. We gave up after 90 minutes. DS slept on the couch and his door is firmly closed.

Here is the gift.

I don't seem to have a pic of her on my laptop. She's a calico long haired maine coon. And she loves her DS2 LOL
