What Do I See?

I was asked today by stanley what i saw in him and put off answering him at the moment because i felt like that was a conversation in and of itself. I felt however, the need to speak to that sooner as opposed to later,

I see in him, a hardworking man, unafraid of hard labor if thats what's needed,
I see in him a responsible man, who dilligently works at payng his bills on time, and budgets himself so that he can
I see in him, a man who is in the truest sense of the word, a family man, with very close ties not only to his immediate family but to his extended family as well that is heartwarming and very precious to see and experience first hand.
I see in him a man who has a great deal of respect and admiration for his parents and who was very close to his father- and still is close to his mother
I see in him an appreciation for the simpler things in life
I see in him a wonderful sense of humour and an inate ability to make people laugh in spite of themselves.
I see in him a deep and profound thinker hidden behind a nonchalant exterior that you have to get past in order to even know that exists in the background.
I see in him the ability to let his inner child out - without thought of what people will think or how it looks
I see in him real basic old school values about life and living and what's right and wrong

I see a man who is stronger than he may let on and who is filled with endless possiblities

He loves, unashamedly, he gives without regard to personal gain, he listens without judgement, and he gives advice only when asked for or sorely needed. ..he is supportive and caring at all times - is respectful and has a romantic streak a mile wide.....

so what do i see when I look at stanley....I see what my heart sees.....

Love....warmth .....caring.....and hope....all things i pretty much thought i had lost along the road of life....i am so very much enjoying rediscovering each and every one....
