This made me smile at this beautiful expression of your relationship with him. This essay speaks so much, with so few words about the cherished love you have together.

I think this is my favorite piece of writing of yours ever. I am awash with its quiet joy. What a beautiful precious thing you have. Thank you for sharing it Yehudis.

David Standl Rast says “Joy is happiness not attached to an outcome.”

You might have just showed me that “Love not attached to a why” might be the purest form of love.

A “why” gives it a condition. Which if the condition goes away, well then so too does the love. But without a why, it lasts forever.

Thank you for this Yehudis. ❤️

I feel like you successfully captured something that does feel difficult to capture (and I’m sure still doesn’t do justice to your relationship). I liked it a little more because I feel like after seeing Nathan a couple times, I know a little about him and can see how all of this comes together. The thing that stuck out the most to me was how you said he doesn’t take your energy. I feel like that’s a very special person. Great piece!
