Somehow, some way I’ll have to get used to the surge of intense gratitude that seizes me every time this man steps up to the plate for me. Solving problems I can’t wrap my head around. Formulating responses when I can’t speak. Defending me without having a full understanding of why I needed it. After years of hiding my hurt and inadvertently robbing myself of the chance to get this kind of vehement protection, it feels good to watch
