This is the post-it note I left him on the bathroom mirror to find this morning when he got up to get ready for work.
We're low-key like that... no grand gestures... just little reminders that we matter to each other and that we remember each other.
I helped him at one of his jobs last night, removing wallpaper. Just outside the bedroom door of the couple who's room is being painted soon, they had wall art that said... Always kiss me goodnight. I absolutely said, "Aw. That's so sweet and it's true. We could be like your aunt and uncle and one of us could just not wake up one day."
Man, I love him so stinkin' much. Every moment of almost 22 years together now has been worth it. Some of that time was so very, very hard. We have had a ton of growing pains. He's still my best friend ever and forever. I have no plans for that to ever change.
Something changes the moment you decide you’ve found a person you are ready to reveal parts of your soul to. Something stands out and makes the moment unique. A profound multidimensional clarity resembling a piece of carefully gathered stardust; As if you are whispering “finally” and your eyes fill with light and spontaneity. As if you do not care whether your heart will melt or crumble in the process because your brief courage undoes your tremendous fear of disbelief. You live for these moments; For you are, maybe for one second or more, sweetly forced to surrender yourself to unconditional intimacy. A moment of psychological reward smashing all self-imposed disciplines founded on terror. This is all you need.” — Anaïs Nin; “The Diary of Anaïs Nin"
