Unflinching kindness

Words in an email or text or even a card.

A disembodied voice coming over the airwaves of a huge country and world.

And finally the soft resonate sound of air pushing through vocal chords tuned exactly to my frequency.

We were meant to meet, you and I.

You have everything I want or lack. I am in awe of your knowledge, your talent, your sweet face and sweeter ways.

The longer we know each other, the more I respect and love you. I cannot think of a single thing I would change about you, or the way you bring out the best in me.

But if I had to pick your most outstanding trait it would be your unflinching kindness. No matter what the situation is, your meticulous understanding always reaches deep enough to find the kindest way to deal with everything.
