Lucky enough to be called "Sweetheart." Having someone see and feel your "sweet" side, as you sprinkle golden raisins into your sweet breads and give them away as gifts. Adding both brown sugar and white sugar to your chocolate chip cookies, using dark chocolate bits, soft cookies with the chocolate that melts on your fingers (as you sneak a lick when no one is looking!)
Being so sweet, with such a compassionate kind personality, that you become the substitute for sugar in someone's life. Having the sweetness of a smile that you faithfully reserve just for them, a smile so sweet it becomes like raspberry jam on the bread in someone's day.
As Moses threw the piece of wood into the River Nile to sweeten it, as Ruth gave birth to a child for Naomi to bounce upon her lap, as bitterness washes away in the waves as the Great Red Seas Split and the Hebrews walk upon dried sands to the Promised Land, leaving behind the Egyptians with their horses to drown in these same waters that were a blessing to the Hebrews.
Feeling like a "Sweetheart" as someone identifies you as such, living up to their expectations of you, being the icing on their cake without the calories. "Sweetening" someone's life with a smile, a laugh, a tickle, a look of love upon your face.
A face that lightens up brighter than a Hanukkah Menorah, more colorful than a Christmas tree, a face that glows with Divine light, a face that takes the place of darkness, not ever to have a scare, to have a Halloween without the fright in the night, following this face as your guiding light, it sparkling like your personal diamond.
The miracle of having a "Sweetheart" in your life, someone for just you that you do not have to share. A one and only, a one-of-a kind, a nurturer with an endless supply of sweet milk just for you, for you only to drink.
Tell someone today: "You are my Sweetheart" and bring love into their life and into yours.
