One of the things that jumps out at me as you and I navigate this world, our world, together is that being alongside you makes sense to me. The world I am talking about refers to both the physical world—the one made up of restaurants and highways and shopping malls—and the figurative world, meaning, generally, the larger set of circumstances we face..

Craig, I love being physically next to you. If you push me away, I can pull you back in. We can read each other, be immediately confronted by the reality of one another, be comforted by our physical compatibility. I love swimming in the ocean with you. And by ocean, I mean everything..The air we breathe is the water we swim. Water, water everywhere.

The fact that you love me and would even consider being with me is an honor
