A preview of my last gift to my ex.
"Once upon a time, there was a wolf who was born in a cage. He lived in the cage for many years, dreaming every so often of finding his brothers and sisters, but less and less over the years as the cage sapped his spirit. One day, the door to the cage had gotten so rusty that it sprung open when the wolf rested his shoulder against it. The wolf felt great joy and he ran out into the sunlight. Unfortunately, the sunlight hurt his eyes and the people outside were too much for the wolf who knew only the safety of his cage. So the wolf went to find a young lady zookeeper.
The wolf found a lady keeper and brought her back to his cage. "Won't you come with me", said the wolf. "I am big and fierce and nothing comes into my cage. Wouldn't it be nice to come in and be my forever friend?" And the lady keeper said "Oh yes, you are so strong, but wouldn't it be nice to come out into the sun with me every so often?" But she and the wolf never did. Being with the wolf in his cage every day, changed the young woman. She grew old and sad before her time. It wasn't good for either her or the wolf. So one day, when the wolf's back was turned, his woman keeper escaped. "Come back, come back, my forever friend" said the wolf, "without you I will die, but without my cage I will die! How can I live?" But he had followed her out of his cage.
The rest of the story is up to her and to me now.
