In the first year of being together Seth cleaned up my son’s vomit, bought my daughter a book series he enjoyed, disposed of a dead thing the cat brought in before I’d be faced with it, grew a beard for me, learned to bake creme caramel for me (made it salted, just for me), picked up a million new vegetarian recipes, drew pictures for my children that he framed and hung on their walls, chased snakes from my garden, posed naked for me while I drew, weeded gardens, took my kids out drawing with him after school, took my kids out skating with him after school, put up shelves in my kitchen, took shelves down and moved them slightly over that way when I changed my mind, watched the films I like to watch, loved my borscht, brought his heater over when I was cold, cooked dinner parties for my friends and me, carried boxes for me, bought me a necklace, a book and lots of lingerie, left me love notes with foxes he drew on them, calmed me, was patient with me, trusted me, opened himself to me, gave me space and dived in head first.
It was kindness I was looking for by the time I met Seth, and it was kindness that first drew me to him when he introduced himself.
Kindness, which is really a kind of wisdom and awe.
You got yourselves each a good one. Congrats.
