i held on as tightly as you held on to me.
we met in 2010. we agreed to be roommates sight unseen. we fell in love playing in the mountainsides of telluride. and 7 years later we promised that we would never move out & love one another forever. j: you have grounded me in ways i never thought imaginable. you teach me daily what it means to be loved deeply and fully. you help curate a life that abounds of beauty, engulfed tightly in laughter and surrounded by joy. thank you; thank you; thank you. "over the years, and especially this past year, you have showed me to be loved where you are and not where you should be is the greatest of gifts, and i promise that i will embrace this sense of grace that you display daily."
