Replying...
Intro. You are 'my little sprout,' my sunshine. You arrived in my life like a wildflower finding its way through concrete: unexpectedly, beautifully, and in need of just a little bit of tending. My life was steady, routine, simple. And then you, with your bright eyes and sometimes frazzled energy, showed up. I found myself instinctively wanting to nurture you, to watch you grow, to keep you safe from the world's sharp edges. I see a little bit of the person I used to be in you, and a lot of the person I aspire to be. I don't just see a lover, I see someone I want to help bloom into their fullest self. And I'll be here, a steady hand, a warm meal, a quiet refuge, for every step of that journey. You're my heart, kid.
