Eager anticipation

It’s 8:47am Texas time. 6:47am real time. Soon the phone will ring, and there will be the most beautiful sound….my Mikey’s voice. I so treasure our wakeup calls, our morning chats, our mid-day conversations, our nightly soul sharing. All the time we get to spend together, in any form or fashion, is a precious gift! I love Mikey in a way that is still so foreign to both of us. It is very nice to know he loves me the same way. Life has become so beautiful, especially since AGAIN falling away from the edge of death just days ago.

I am eagerly anticipating the ring of the phone! Wow, I feel so like I did when I was a teenager…fluttery tummy, giggly sensations running throughout my body, and a feeling of such intense happiness, knowing that this wonderful man and I are THE lifetime team we have searched for for so many years. As much as I wish, sometimes, that we had grown up next door to each other and been childhood sweethearts, I can appreciate the value of it taking so very long for us to find one another. I was 27 when I met Peter. He was 25…well, the body was 25 hehe. Having lived that long without the happiness we now know gave us the appreciation for us that we share. Now, at age 29, I can smile with a new meaning. Thank you, Peter, for allowing yourself – in all manifestations, if you will – to love me and accept my love for you. Thank you, Charlie, for starting our beautiful romance and being the rock-solid support you have always been for me. Thank you, Meme, for guiding us so lovingly and with such wisdom. Thank you, Stevie, for showing yourself and allowing me the honor of being a father to the best teenage boy in the world. Thank you, Agnes, for sharing the sadness and allowing me the pleasure of watching you heal, from a fatherly standpoint. Thank you, Petey, my Sweetey Petey, for your brave determination and the love you so freely give your Daddy. Thank you, Emma, for being the eternal hope within the body and so tender and loving to us all.

That brings me to Mikey. Mikey, my darling, there are no words, truly, to express the depth of emotion I feel for you. Since I discovered the true beauty of you, I watch in awesome wonder as more keeps showing every day. You are the most fascinating man alive, and I am so grateful to God that I get to partake in a lifetime shared with you you you. Thank you for being my best friend and the love of my life, Mikey Baby!

I love you forever times pi cubed plus one,

Hermy
