Tragedy. No...Really.

I made Mike a sign for Christmas that was VERY special to me. I put my heart and soul into it. I put our loves notes to eachother on it. The only ones I had :( and I gave it to him with our pictures on it together to kind of commemorate our dating experiences, and special moments, all culmonating to our plans to wed (as you all know we have). It really meant so much to me. Well...I took it from our apartment so that we could display it at our reception. Well count on me to lose it in transit. I ended up shopping with McKenna the day prior to the wedding and then ended up at her house that evening. Well...Trevin had messed up a piece of the sign in the car so I had taken it in her house to do a quick fix. Anyway, later on when I went to get into the car so that we could drive over the church and help decorate, my hands were full, so i set the sign on top of her car so that I could hold it on my lap after I put everything else in......YEAH, YOU CAN ALL SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING :(
I LEFT IT THERE! we drove away. i didn't realize. and now the sign is gone. nowhere to be found. McKenna's neighbor found it outside her house in the road the next morning, and being thoughtful propped it up on the curb so that the owner could find it...well next time she looked it was gone. Trashed by someone I'm sure.
I cried and cried. Silly really since It's just a board. BUT IT WAS SO SPECIAL TO ME, it can never be replaced and because I never planned on losing it, we didn't get much to remember it by, we got a semi ok picture of it after he opened it on Christmas Day 2008 and then I had taken a partial with my cell phone. So..This is all that's left of my gift to my fiance (then) and husband (now). It still hurts my heart to know it's gone forever........but............I love him and he loves me, and that's all that matters.
