“I’m still learning what it means to love someone like I love him, but I think it means letting go of the big promises. Instead, I make him small ones. I will wake up each day and try to be a little better than the day before. I will tell him the truth, even when it is hard. I will trust him to make decisions for himself. I will give him the space to grow into the person he is becoming, and we will love each other through all the parts that still ache.”
