Yeah, yeah, yeah - that's not the iconic line from Jerry McQuire, but it's a healthier sentiment, one that sums up my love match with John.
John doesn't make it feel like everything is alright & whole in my world. He helped open the way for me to find a safe vantage point to see where things are falling apart, areas where our relationship needs some patching, what things are broken in my life & need repair or to be thanked & chucked.
Guess you could say John held open the first door - one I didn't even existed - to that safe spot, then stepped back to let me open the rest.
Many years ago, I sent John a card that said, "I'd say you're all my dreams come true... except I never dreamed that good." Never in all my youthful & not-so-youthful dreams did I begin to imagine a true love who doesn't see me as perfect, his ideal realized. Never dreamed I'd marry someone whose core life lessons include "perfection equals paralysis." Wow....
My life is far from perfect, but every day I get to glory in the remarkable experience of having a love who sees me as uncomplete & finds that just fine. He's not, either - I uncomplete him, too. And isn't that grand?!
