Letter (and parcel) For Angelo

Angelo,

So you'll never be cold again.

I know sometimes you wonder. I know because I recognise the look. I'm sorry I'm not very good with words, but here I am, trying my best.

I love you.

I love the way you light up a room when you enter it. I love the way the kids all fight to sit in your lap. I love how kind, how patient you are, even to those who don't deserve it. I love how worried you get over everything. I love how important your mother is to you. I love how important my family is to you. I love how I fit perfectly I fit in your arms. I love the way you try so hard not to play with your food but always fail when it comes to spaghetti or mashed potatoes. I love how you care so much. I love the way my cheek always finds your shoulder. I love the way you stroke my hair. I love how you wanted to change. I love how you hold my face when you kiss me. I love how you stayed. I love how you were the first thing I saw when I woke up. I love how that's the way I always want it to be.

I love you because you're you.

Paige

The gift is one of her mother's handknitt sweaters, clearly made in his dimensions however, in dark red.

Paige,

You are far too good to me. I've told you that before. And I'll say once again... thank you. You've questioned it, sometimes, and I know you have trouble believing it, so... I can't be as eloquent as you were, but I'll try.

I love you too.

I love the way just seeing me makes you smile. I love how you see the good in me, even when I'm not sure it's there. I love the way you can bring it out of me at those moments. I love how you were my friend almost from the first time we met. I love how you came to see my mom, even though you were nervous, because I wanted you to. I love how you're the best person I ever met. I love how you tease me, and even how you tickle me sometimes. I love how beautiful you are, inside and out. I love how you hate wearing dresses. I love how you inspire me to change. I love how all I want... is you. I love the way you see so much in me worth loving. God, Paige, I love everything about you, and that's never gonna change. Ever. Believe it.

Angelo
