heh - if it were *me* and *my box*, i'd go over and "pet it" when in her line of sight... to say "this is important to me" but not to actually bring it up. But that's just me and i'm weird that way.

i remember when my (old) t gave me a picture - it was of a girl that looked enough like me, in a red sun dress and she was standing at the edge of a forrest she had just emerged from. she was over looking a valley with a river and uning horses. then past that were mountains and a lovely sky. She said "It's YOU! you've come out of the forrest!!!" SHe saw it and it reminded her of me and she got it for me. *cries*. such things are very special.
