So, Shaun used to always say to me, “You are Beautiful.. with two big L’s…”
And as most women would reply to their spouse, I would say he was sweet – I love him – and then rattle all the things off that I would like to repair with diet, exercise or plastic surgery.
He would roll his eyes, and say, “That’s stupid.” And guess what? He was right. He loved me how I am. It wasn’t just my physical appearance that he was referring to – it was my heart and my love for him. He knew something that I didn’t until this week. He saw my heart.. what made me – well, me. And he loved it. And Shaun was beautiful – a gorgeous man. Thought so the second I met him. But when I look back on old pics, he looks kinda funny to me. Not the same. Because his heart wasn’t the same. So when someone tells you that you are beautiful – say Thank You… they might see something there that you can’t.
