Alec asked me the other night why I love him... I just gave him some silly, mushy adjectives, yet I meant everything I said. Yesterday was our 8th anniversary and while I was driving to work the same morning, I asked myself on why I love him so.
I couldn't possibly put into words on why I love him, but I could say that what I love about him the most, is the fact that for him simply being - Alec! By that I mean he hasn't lost his identity one bit ever since we met at our previous work a decade ago, and that we've been leveraging each other to grow and mature through the years. He is still very much himself no doubt, but only more free, more love...
Even though we are 8 years apart, we happened to share a lot of similarities since we considered ourselves to be 'simple folks'. I love him for him being his own individual self... with his quirkiness and idiosyncrasies, his funny bit, watching his silly little dance and most of all, his love and care for things that are truly important in life.
Thanks B. To many more...

Thanks everyone! A little ruff at first, but things do get easier in time. We didn't do anything out of the ordinary that night. I just made dinner and his gift that he ordered before didn't arrive until yesterday! ahaha!
He got me a chef's apron!

One of your angels checking in, answering your musical request (though I have a tattered halo) and raise the eyebrows of the other angels...
