The Surprise

So, yesterday I wrote about my thoughts and serendipity. During the night of Nikolaus, I woke up at 5 am and was awake for the next two hours. The night was cold, it was 2 grad Celcius. I wrote Thomas an email about what a home means, as those thoughts come and go. My fingers were cold and I tried to go back to sleep. I managed to fall asleep again. I also remember seeing the first sign of the day as I digged deeper into the sleeping bag to keep my nose warm.

The next thing I remember is that I heard a sound. It was our backyard door. As I opened my eyes....I saw Thomas, he was coming towards me, the same way I had dreamed about it some days ago. He was here, here with me. He came all the way up from LA to give me a gift, and to spend the day with me. I was in awe.
The whole day I was in awe and could not believe that one had done that for me. The moment I did not expect anything at all, it came to me. I felt lucky like I felt as a kid. And I was happy to have Thomas around me for one whole day. That was a Nikolaus I will always remember.
This was also the first night I slept inside the house, in a room. It was warm, I could hear the heater going on and off many times during the night, as the morning came and people were preparing for the day it was noisy, and I felt a distinct comfort level as I was not alone.

My wish came true.

There isn't any formula or method, we learn to love by loving.

A nice evening with too much Sangria...
