You know, that sounds so fairy tale perfect, and that's not realistic.
In its entirety it was beautiful.
But there were moments when he said things that hurt, and I said things that hurt. We both were at times angry or hurt or even petulant, selfish and unreasonable. Things are far from settled. We're two flawed and very human beings.
But we also reached out to each other with kindness. And also let each other view the pain we were feeling, without lashing out or trying to hide it.
I just keep having this picture of two people circling and having a very real verbal fight, but at the same time his hand is grasping my elbow and my hand is grasping his elbow and that somehow kept us together in our circling, and kept us from getting enough distance to do any major damage to each other.
