It’s been wonderful to discover that I can open up and be myself with you and that you’ll accept me as I am. I can share things with you that I wouldn’t share with anyone else — secrets, hopes, fears — and you think they’re all important, just because they’re a part of me. There have been times when I revealed sides of myself that I let few people see — silly, philosophical, sentimental — and you love all that I am and all that I can be. Its been wonderful to discover someone so loving, so accepting. It’s been wonderful to discover you.

Happy 9th Rafiane Day, Daddy Raf. :)
