The sweetest thing happened to me a couple of weeks back and I wanted to share it with you and maybe hear any stories that you might have.
A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine that I care about very much, sang me my favorite song. He's a musician- a darn good one- and was playing at this little wine shop that I go to, so I went to see him. Earlier that month, we were chatting about music in general and my favorite song came up- Into the Mystic, it's a special song to me that my grandma used to sing when I was little- she rocked.
I have known him for a long time and he had never played it until that night at least that I had seen.
I had goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach and just wow!I figured it was for me, still I don't like to assume anything but I did talk to him the next day about it and was stoked when I got confirmation that it was for me.
It was quite possibly the best and sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me- to him it was probably such a little thing but to me it meant the world, I can't put it into words really. I'm just so lucky sometimes, it's the little things that mean so much in life.
Has this ever happened to you- something sweet and little, that left you speechless?
Share your story if you would like...
Thanks for reading!

i see you've met Mr. I think I'm perfect as your first responder. Anyways, yes, something like that has happened to me before. I have always been a romantic person who needed the same from my spouse and it never seemed like he was getting the point. Well, his first deployment he kept saying i'm writing you a song and i never heard it, saw it, nothing. Well,this deployment when he came home on his leave time...i was sitting on the couch and he came out with his guitar and started singing me this gorgeous, yet really sad and touching song all at once. By the time it was over, I was bawling my eyes out out of joy and saddness...of course it was about him being gone and the things i had to go through while he was protecting our country and how strong i was. I have never had a song written to me, about me, or sang to me. It was the most rushing moment and most sensual and emotional moment I have ever had all at one time. It was absolutely amazing. Anyways, I know that you were so thrilled to have learned that it was for you. There is something about someone singing to you and for you that is so heart felt and warm. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing your story. God bless

Thanks so much for responding with your story- thanks to your husband for protecting our freedom, even though it must hurt your heart right now. Hopefully he will be home soon. All those feelings were there for me too, I didn't bawl though until I got the email he sent after. I was actually kind of numb, blushing, and full of emotion..amazing. Sensual for sure.
Thanks for the luck so far so good! :)
Have a great night and may your hubby come home soon safe and sound.

well littel things mean so much atleast to me.I dont know if you are sensitive but I sure am and I could make out that if someone ever hurt me in a very small way i would be really hurt and would be infact in a very bad mood
Coming to your post,I think there were so many things that have touched my heart even though were a samll act only.It is a long list to mention those.But as I see it,only those samll things add yo something big.
As they say,little drops make an ocean.

I'm definitely sensitive and emotional and this was something that money can't buy and to him not a big deal at all but if I think about the fact that he intended it for me and me alone, my heart starts racing and a tear even still comes to my eye-
little drops do make an ocean- absolutely. I'm glad my post touched your heart as much as the actual act touched mine..Thanks for stopping by

You share what I definitely believe in life - the little things are really improtant.
Well my guy of three months now bought me a christmas present when I was not even lexpecting one from him. It was a really nice smelling cologne and I liek it very much, gentle on the nostrils and the body.
He was quite jovial about it but even though I tried to tell him how much I appreicaited it I do still wonder if he understood. You see even if it was a smaller gift I would have appreciated it - its the thought that counts.
Well tomorrow I willb e going to buy his birthday gift - for Monday and mine is the friday too.
