We always end up separating and wandering the aisles, gathering our own things, and sometimes when I turn a corner and see him standing there it's like seeing him for the first time! I find myself thinking, "Is he really that tall? Does he really have that much stubble? I didn't know his hair was that black!" etc. It reminds me to always be grateful for those special people. I'm sure Alex is just as wonderful as you always paint him to be!
