Marie,
Maybe you have read the story of "The Gift of the Maji"
When I read your post I thought of that story.
The plot of the story is about a couple who are very much in love with each other, but are facing hard times, the wife wants to buy her husband a gold chain for his pocket watch that was given to him by his father.
In order to do this she has her long hair cut and sold to make a wig. At the same time the husband sells his watch to buy his wife a beautiful set of tortoise shell combs for her long beautiful hair. Each is disappointed to find the gift they chose rendered useless, but they are pleased with the gift they received, becasue it represents their love for one another.

You and Ed represent to me this story in that your gift of love for each other is wise. The Magi were wise men who brought gifts to the baby in the manger. You and Ed are also wise and both of you through your love will make wise choices at the correct time.

Fondly,
Jean
