woshing him.
growing up, i always wanted legos for my birthday or christmas. my family wasn’t wealthy and money wasn’t really available so i wasn’t able to get legos often.
my girlfriend and i were at a store and we passed by some lego sets.
“do you want it?”
“i think i’m a little too old for legos now honey”
on our anniversary, she gave me a gift bag with two boxes inside of it. the smaller box contained my favorite kind of chocolate which had melted and she had froze. the other box was larger and made noise when i picked it up. when i realized what it was under the wrapping paper she had made, i looked at her and teared up instantly. i unwrapped it carefully to save the paper for sentimental purposes and underneath it all was a lego set.
after work today, i got to open up the box and start building the little lego set.
for a moment i felt like i was thirteen again.
in the middle of building it, i couldn’t help but start to tear up and cry a little bit. i never really had a childhood growing up and legos was a tiny part of what was left of it.
she knew that.
i guess i’m not too old for legos after all.
i love you so much, with all of my heart, always and forever @elliejaybird 💛✨
happy anniversary, my love
every morning, i’ll look at her and it feels like my heart is about to burst. i fall in love with her every second of every day.
“this is the girl i’m going to marry”
“she’s so perfectly beautiful”
“i love her so much”
then she asks me if i want toasted hot dog buns with lots of butter.
and i say yes every time 💛✨
