"He broke up with me because he was moving out of state for a job, and I just wasn't going to be able to follow him. He brought me flowers, snacks, dinner, and cards, and I don't remember what else to soften the blow. When he came back to visit, I was struggling hard, as in I could barely afford to feed myself. When he stopped by to see me, he had arms full of groceries to stock my fridge and pantry for weeks. He also kept trying to give me cash, but I refused. After he left, I found money stuck under something on my counter (I can't remember what). He died a few years later in a car accident. Chris, you were one of a kind. I'll never miss the opportunity to tell the world what a uniquely amazing human you were."
"When my husband was my boyfriend, I noticed that he always acknowledged everyone in the room. For instance, whenever we were in a room with my entire family, he would approach absolutely everyone: my dad, mom, sister, cousins, uncles, aunts, and friends, and be able to establish a conversation and a relationship with them eventually. Even my relatives' dog knew him to be the only one who could set aside some time just to pet him."
"At first, I thought that my boyfriend was just a social being, which I was appreciative of seeing as how I personally have always been a socially inept, awkward individual, but eventually, this gift of his reaped dividends, too, as when a close cousin of mine, let's say, fell in with the bad sort of crowd and was in desperate need of help and support."
