She did forgive me. and I gave her lots of hugs. and she actually did say she loved me more than the pottery bowl. But the thing is, I wish I could get another bowl. When she got the bowl, it came with a Tag and it said the address and phone number etc. And i don't think we have the tag anymore..... I asked and she said she didn't think we had the tag anymore either. But she did say that it made her feal better to know that I cared and that I was making an effort to try and replace it, and thats all that counts.
