When I was dating my future husband he surprised me on my birthday, which was a few months into our new relationship. I did not have my driver's license so I walked everywhere including to and from work at a local fast food restaurant.  Near my apartment, I got my groceries from a dollar-or-less store so there were limited fresh items.  My future husband was soon aware of all this. 

So for my birthday gift, he filled my fridge and pantry with all kinds of food, fresh meat, produce, dairy and some quick meals. Things I had gone without for so long. That in itself brought me to tears, what a financial relief and an amazing gesture. To top it off, he drove 3 hours to get my best friend for her to help him pick out things to go in the fridge and pantry and to surprise me. He also purchased me a new TV because mine was well on its way out. 

When I got home from work I was so surprised and thankful, my heart swelled with all kinds of emotions knowing someone cared this much and went so far out of his way just for me. At first, I was scared and nervous someone was doing all this for me only after dating a few months.  I had the nagging question of, "What's in it for him?" However time and time again he never ceases to amaze me. He does it just to see the look on my face and take care of me. I will never forget that birthday and all he did just for me. 

We dated for 4 years, have been married for 4, and I couldn't be happier.
