hey seeker
don't be discouraged. I met the captain in a Trailways bus depot. it took 8 years for us to mature and get through awkwardness and fear of vulnerability...and grow. The right person grows with you-not just on you. Captain didn't speak for the first 3 months we knew each other. We were equally matched in goofiness. Honestly, I don't think any other human has ever understood me as well, or had patience to love me as much. It took years to get here, and the dynamics change because we change, so we are constantly new people for each other. Fortunately, we like the new people.

:) Thank's for these words. Yep thats it...taking the whole package and not just the raisins of the cake. And patience....oh what a sweet word better the love. :)
