I really love this man.
11yearsin he looks different than when he was first acquired. His hair is a bit longer and thinner, his beard is fuller, he's got lines around his eyes and his frame has acquired a pleasing squishyness. He credits me with his increased social abilities and confidence. Changes he made within himself that are for the better. But the heart of him is still the steady same. That is what I love.
He has such capacity for love. Warts and all. He wants to know everything about what he loves, the good, the bad, the terribly gross and then he goes on to love it just the same as before. Not inspite of it's flaws or blind to its faults but completely as a whole flawed thing. Whether that's Star Wars, The Ramones, his somewhat alcoholic father or me. It's amazing the space he holds inside him for this love and the space he makes each time someone/thing new earns his love.
He's so great at Change. Do you know anyone else on earth who being made aware/seeing their own faults would work to change them?
