“I’d like to give you more jewelry,” he commented, noting that she wasn’t wearing any gold or diamonds with her blue dress that draped over her beautifully pregnant figure. 

“You’ve given me something better than jewels,” she came back.  “You’ve given me treasures beyond measure.”

He looked down at the woman he’d loved for so many years and smiled.  “You’ve given me a great deal
