Most Thoughtful Gift Ever

This was delivered today. Brian had it made for me as a housewarming present.

This painting is very special to me. It is a ‘portrait’ of me done by my dad. He said it was meant to convey my personality rather than my looks. When I would be caught doing something I shouldn’t, I smiled with my eyes shut, probably the poster girl for the ‘butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth’ saying. This was painted when I was about 5, so it’s an antique. 😋

Brian took a photo of it in our house in the states. It was too large to bring with us. He sent the photo to an online place that creates a ceramic ‘painting’ and includes an ingenious holder for it to sit in, or a frame and screw so you can hang it on the wall.

Getting this for me brings my dad right here in my condo. My eyes are welling up that Brian thought to do this for me, knowing how much it would mean to me.
