Last night, I woke up at 2 AM because my parents were fighting...again.

I texted my friend, telling him I was really scared because he hit her.

Without a reply, I felt a bit neglected.

10 minutes later, I heard a tap on my window. there he was telling me he'd always be there for me. A best friend's LGMH.

I had an abusive father growing up.

He was only abusive towards me; never my brothers. Every time he came after me, my baby brothers would try to protect me.

If they couldn't, they would spend the whole night guarding my room so he couldn't get to me again.

Their strength and LGMH.

My best friend Ryan and I were watching a movie one day.

There was a guy in the movie who took his girlfriend to Rome on a date for dinner. I cried because I thought that was the cutest, most amazing thing a guy could ever do.

Later that year, Ryan became my boyfriend. Tonight, he took me to dinner. In Rome.

Then, he proposed. His LGMH.

One night, I was crying uncontrollably at home when my boyfriend showed up unexpectedly at my door.

He had nothing in his hands but extended both his arms and told me to pick.

When I asked him why he said "So I know which sleeve to let you blow your nose in silly!"

His positivity and gentle LGMH.

The other day I asked my boyfriend what he wanted to be when he was older.

After thinking about it for a few minutes he replied 'your husband.'

I asked him if he meant it, and he said yes.

I never smiled so much in my life. His LGMH.
