  Dearest Deer,   When I saw you for the first time, I fell deeply in love. So True.   When a house in our neighborhood burnt down, the family did a yard sale with the remaining items they were able to salvage. For two years now, every time we walked by their house I was telling Brian that I am in love with the deer and owl they had in front of their house.
