him

The definition of a loving soul is when he comes over and helps to take out the garbage and quietly replaces your garbage bag; buys that Architectural Digest magazine with Julianne Moore on the cover when you mentioned it at the airport but didn't have enough time to buy it because you were running late to catch your flight; offers to buy your drinking water when he saw you have a couple of empty bottles left in the cabinet under the sink and he got worried if you won’t have enough drinking water supply to last the week; knows which parts of the chicken you love the most because you're a picky chicken eater and gets only those parts every time he buys you chicken takeaways; takes out the vacuum bag and replaces it because he knows you hate doing it; listens attentively and then calmly tells you the things you needed to hear when the going got tough and you ugly-cry called him about the situation despite the timezone difference and he was in the middle of crazy at work; and many, many others that he does only for you. Out of his selfless, kind and loving heart.

We turned eight yesterday.

And we are headed to where we are heading because it is what it is. I will always love you and there will be a piece of you in me always. Whatever comes after this, whoever we become as a person, and wherever we will be in this world, I’ll be sending you light and love. You are my best friend and my soulmate to the end.

Slow Sunday. Late breakfast. Turns out I’m mad for crunchy wholemeal toasts. Who knew.

Osaka. Bird Coffee. An atmospheric spot. And one that serves the fluffiest, deceivingly-dense-but-so-light, yummiest donuts.
