I arrived at his house and saw the light on in the garage, so I went over to see if he was outside with his Dad working on (wood) toys. As I walked up, his Dad greeted me with a big smile and a chuckle in his voice. Before I could finish saying, 'hello', Mr. B started to tell me that I'm always welcome in their home. He said that he's noticed how happy Levi has been and knows that I make Levi very happy, so he can't help but be grateful for the change that I've brought to his son's life.
Oh man, I cannot tell you how hard I had to fight back tears! My heart was warmed and I felt an overwhelming sense of appreciation. Mr. B went on to say that I'm more than welcome to come over to their house anytime I wanted, even while they were working in the garage, or if I wanted to come over while Levi wasn't there, I was more than welcome to....even if I wanted to come over to cook dinner for him before he got home from work, I could do so. Mr. B was so happy that I made his son happy, but I just wanted him to know that it was a definite two-way street. I told him that Levi makes me just as happy, as well. I was just so touched by what Mr. B had to say and just the warm welcome and invitation I had in their home...that meant a lot to me. I know how happy I've made Levi, but just having it confirmed by his Dad meant so much more.
I love this man so much. No other man has ever treated me the way he does. He goes above and beyond to make me happy, without any expectations. I know how busy he is, during this last week before this trip, but he gave up a free night of relaxing to spend it with me. That meant so much to me because I needed it more than he'll ever know. He puts up with my VERY tearful episodes with sensitivity and tenderness. He communicates with me when I'm upset and explains things so I understand and see where he's coming from. He's the poster boy....golden boy of patience. I can't help but think of how incredibly LUCKY I am to have found him, but more so, that he could like & love someone like me. Since the first day I met him, I've never felt judged or inferior in any way. I can be open and honest with him about everything, and I trust him completely. Heaven knows that I am far from perfect, and unfortunately Levi's seen some of that this past week...but lucky for me, he doesn't love me any less. I just want to make him unbelievably happy because he already does that for me. ♥
