today, my 91 year old aunt said this to me: "I really like your boyfriend he is a great guy and you should never let him go. he makes you so happy-everytime you talk about him your face shines and your smile is huge." today, one of my best friends since middle school said this to me: "You have a really good thing ya know.. don't f**k it up" its so reassuring to know that my family and friends accept and like my boyfriend the way i do.
