It's been awhile...

I haven't blogged in awhile, but I figured I'd ease back into it with a photo of my dear, dear friend Ali's NYE photo shoot that he did for some spread in some St. Louis something-or-other. Believe me, he explained it...I just can never remember (which is a shocker, I know).

I have had the same black peacoat for about 12 years or so (lay off me, peacoats never go out of style!) and I've had a note from Ali in my coat pocket for almost as long as I've had the coat. It is on the back of one of those tithing cards that they have in church (yeah, ummm...we used to write notes on the back of those and pass them amongst our friends...) and in Ali's very distant handwriting it says, "I love you. Like that agape type of love that they are talking about."

As I was walking into work this morning, I felt the note in my pocket and...well, felt loved.

Isn't that Bruno Mars?

I hate it that when I leave the first comment on your blog, it always says, "1 comments" at the bottom. Yes, that's "1 comments"...plural. Isn't blogspot smart enough to know the difference between singular and plural? Or were they too lazy to build code into the website to account for that? Well, now I've left the second comment, so the grammar will be correct.
You're welcome.

My dear, you are ALWAYS loved. Sometimes you forget because maybe you don't talk to those who actually say it you- often enough... But I'm glad our agape-kind of love has lasted. And more glad that you STILL have that note. Love you through and through.
