The Power to Make Others Happy

I was kinda sad that I hadn't really talked to him today. Just random stuff on facebook. . .

I left my phone at home today, though, and when I came back there was a voice mail.

so we got to talk for 15.

what a nice way to end my day.

a few posts back, I posted an Albert Einstein quote and this one: "Every person has the power to make others happy. Some do it simply by entering a room -- others by leaving the room. Some individuals leave trails of gloom; others, trails of joy. Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism; others trails of faith and optimism. Some leave trails of criticism and resignation; others trails of gratitude and hope. What kind of trails do you leave?”--William Arthur Ward

I've been thinking about how happy he makes me. No, not because I'm totally falling for him. I've always had happy thoughts about him because of who he is, and in the few months that we spent time together, he was such an amazing guy. I have only fond memories of him, and the fondest is the comfort he gave on that really tough day. He didn't even ask. He just wrapped his arms around me, and I felt safe. The laughter we shared (those yellow elephants!) was great, but he wouldn't have etched his name in my memories if it wasn't for his softer side. He's so manly, but he's also such a sweet person.
