fond-who?

Fondue, thats who!!!

I bought Iren a fondue cooking pot at Migros. I did not think to take a picture of it until now, but it looks something like this one.


The problem I face all of the time is she surrounds me in everything I do. When I am food shopping, I think all of the time about how great it would be if she could see this or that in the store. Try a new food, or something else.

I was looking for a thermometer to help me with cooking a raw food meal I have the ingredients for and this fondue pot was there. I knew instantly it would be something she would like, but I walked away. I came back to it again... and walked away again. All the while I am thinking, I really should not buy this for her. Money is tight for me right now and, she will only get mad anyway. So, I turned to walk away and realized, no matter what, I know she will love it very much and if she will not be willing to enjoy it with me, she can certainly enjoy it with her mom & dad (two people I miss and love very much btw!!!)...

I grabbed it without hesitation and put it in the basket.

Today I shipped it. Now, I will tell you, usually I like to do everything in Switzerland. Really, I do. I like the idea of keeping my money where I earned it. I don't food shop or clothing shop in Germany, for instance. But, sometimes, things just do not add up. For instance, a couple of months back I bought a pair of pants online from Germany. They cost about 45 CHF. It cost me a little over 30 CHF to send them back.

So, for shipping this gift, I went to Germany and shipped it from there. It cost me only 17 €. When I checked the price online for Switzerland, it was 63 CHF for the absolute cheapest shipping. I find that to be too much!!

Anyway, I hope Iren likes the pot. Included I wrote her the following note, and included the pictures below...

    Just an update... I was in micros today and saw the fondue pot that I bought but I didn't have my cell phone with me. The next time I go I'll try to remember and get a picture of it

Hi

Dear Irena, I try not to write to you so much here anymore, its honestly still very hurtful for me. But, it doesn't mean you are far from my thoughts. I always think about time being a great healer, but I think when sometimes a piece of ones heart is gone, that piece just cannot grow back. I sent you an email some months back asking how you and the dogs are but you never replied. I suppose that was a subtle way of you telling me to not bother you again. So, I am afraid to write you more. There is a woman here in Basel who I am going to do some work with in regards to starting a food business. Anyway, she had a miscarriage last week. It took me back to the time when you were pregnant the first time and you bought the pregnant pants. I will tell you Iren, its like yesterday for me, and it makes me just as sad now as it did then when you lost the baby. I keep learning every day about myself and new ways of being to better myself and my life. To live a better life, more loving, ...

Dear Iren I hope you are well... its been a long time and that same time passes very fast I think... I know you have moved on with your life and may not even remember how to spell my name.. but, you are still a part of my life for sure in so many ways... I have learned to stop saying "I wish" this or that in regards to you.. but I never stop living in the space of being open. You are, and its very clear to me now more than ever, a very special woman and I always felt it from the first weeks we spent hours talking on the phone. I just want to wish you a beautiful holiday season.. I miss you, always Love Dave

HI

Dear Iren I hope you are having a nice day.... really, I do... This week, it has been a whirlwind of emotions for me. When you told me last sunday that you got married, I felt like someone took the feet out from under me, and then stepped on top of me. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think straight, and I just couldn't imagine how this could even be real. But... it is... When we wrote back and forth those many emails, it felt amazing because we were communicating, and at the same time, it hurt more than ever. The way we talked, were open, honest, and genuine, it really meant the world to me. Really!! The sad part was, I kept checking my phone, looking at my messages to see if I would hear from you again. And when they didn't come I was sad and when they did, I was worried that you were going to just tell me to get lost.   I am very proud of my being a lot stronger now though. I know that all of the changes I have made in my life are what have led me to this pl...
