I Got A Housewarming Gift From Heaven

[Wired1]

As most of you know, my hubby, Chet, died 5 years ago. Most also know I just bought my first house and moved this past week.

Well, Chet used to buy me anything Tigger he saw. He died 5 years ago. I moved from where we were living to a condo, where I've been for 4 1/2 years. Last weekend I moved into my new house (my 40th b-day present to me).

While unpacking my dad's car I noticed a box I'd never seen. I asked if it was mine and he said "yea, it was in your condo". Curious, I openened.

A brand new (tag still on) ceramic Tigger teapot. I've never, ever seen it. Obviously my DH bought it for me but died before giving it to me. Yet it sat in my condo for that long without my ever seeing....until I moved into my new house.

Thank you Chet!!!!though you should't have spent that kind of money on a dust collector.

Had to share.

Nice story!
I'm sure he smiled from above when you finally got it!

Great story. That must have been a little overwhelming even after 5 years. Hopefully more tears of fond memory than sadness!

That would be a great find.
Not only does it give you a reason to revisit fond memories, he gave you a a really cool
house warming gift.

Thanks, brought a smile to the face

Thanks all. At the time, it gave me total goosebumps. But I too think it's cool.

Only problem is it doesn't fit my decor but I know I have to display it. Oh well, it'll be one of those "conversation" pieces.

Yep you have to display it proudly. One of my buddies finally talked me into gettin my first tat a few years back. It was supposed to be a "work in progress" kind of thing. Long story short he did the work and then enlisted in the Army and was sent to Iraq where he was killed in battle within the first 2 months he was there. The tat still looks the same, I cant let anyone else touch it, but I do display it with alot of pride.
