In 2 days, he's leaving his dog- who he hates leaving for even 8 hours a day because the dog is 14 years old with health issues- and flying from NY to see me in MO...

And THEN he tells me today that he hates flying... absolutely hates everything about traveling on airplanes! Take off, landing, everything. 😬😳

And as bad as that makes me feel, it also tells me how amazing he really is- to put himself through those things because I'm just not in a position to make the trip to him at the moment.

How did I get so lucky to have this kind of person fall into my lap out of nowhere? And what could I possibly do to show him how much it means to me?

I don't really have anyone to share this with, as the situation is a bit complicated and we have kind of kept this relationship to ourselves until we know it's really going somewhere... so just thought I'd share my thoughts here and see if anyone else can relate, or if they have any ideas on a special way I could express my appreciation (beyond some of the more obvious ways 😏😁) Treat/ gift for his dog? Something to make his return fight less torturous? Lol
