My heart is so full..........

I saw W today - for lunch and an outing - yeah in the middle of "Irene".......... but more on that another day.  


Over lunch we were discussing life - you know a little bit of this and a little bit of that.   I brought up a touchy subject - an old topic - a ghost from the past that is also in the present.  


We were hashing over the details - sharing thoughts and W said something that touched me to my very core........... He said (and yeah yeah I am paraphrasing) "I had to stop it - it is what you do for your partner".


I think I have been waiting 10+ years to hear those words - or the idea behind those words........ I come first... FIRST.  It made my heart swell and beat a little faster.  


We truly are "partners" working hard to fit all the puzzle pieces together and come together stronger and better......... It is an amazing feeling !
