We've shared many special moments, but this one stands out for me. One day, after a painful session, I tearfully asked him to promise me that he would never abandon me. And he said "Stella, I am commited to you. I will never leave you. As long as I am helpful to you, I will be by your side until you tell me you no longer need me." To which I anxiously asked, "But how do I know you won't change your mind at some point? What if I become a burden to you?" He gazed at me for awhile and said "I won't change my mind because I connect with you so deeply and I care about you. I'm not worried about you burdening me. I sometimes feel like my daughter is a burden, but I don't stop loving her."
I remember feeling almost stunned by his beautiful words, and I had to composed myself so that I could really take it in and enjoy them. It meant a lot to hear those words from someone who's so familiar with my flaws, warts and all. I felt enveloped by his warmth that day. I love that man...even if he drives me absolutely batty with all of his flaws. And they're mind-boggling flaws...
Thanks for the nice post, Sassy.
