\"\"<\/a>My partner is such a romantic guy. <\/p>\n

I had a hectic day at work yesterday, with one thing after another going on. Nothing was wrong, but I didn’t have a break all day. Then after work, I dropped by that house I am renovating to put in another hour of electrical work while it was still daylight. (The house doesn’t have the power turned on, so I have to work when I can see what I’m doing.)<\/p>\n

When I got home, I changed out of my dirty jeans into some leather, just ’cause. I then got to work preparing dinner for my partner and me.<\/p>\n

As I was preparing our meal, I heard the door open in the basement, then close. I saw my partner out in the back yard. I didn’t think much about it, because he likes to stroll in the gardens.<\/p>\n

I was absorbed in my cooking tasks, and heard a noise. I looked up, and there was my partner, reaching toward me with a huge bunch of daffodils cut from our garden. He smiled, handed me the flowers, and said those three simple but powerful words, “I love you.”<\/p>\n

My reaction was to smile, embrace him, and then feel tears stream down my face. The tears welled up because my partner still brings me flowers and shows he loves me … after all these years. I have such deep, true passionate love for my one-and-only. He is such a romantic man. I am so richly blessed to have someone in my life who loves me so deeply.<\/p>\n

Life is short: show those that you love that you love them!
