I am not at all, but I was recently given a lovely necklace that the person bought to reference a poem that she had written in response, in part, to the grief I have had about losing my father. It was so thoughtful, so specific, that I was seriously touched.
Usually when people do things like that, it falls a bit flat because I just don't feel it that much. I don't care about things and am hard to reach on a sentimental level. I am much easier to reach through humor. Anyway.
This gift got to me. It felt great. We were also having a lovely lunch by the sea. The whole thing was perfect.
