The Greatest Compliment

[hollyking]

Tonight I received the greatest compliment I have ever been given. $little and I went to the Tugboat Night on the ARTHUR FOSS. We got to start the engine, turn the manual and pneumatic assisted wheels, watch the radar and generally play around on the boat.

On the way home he asked me how long we would be matched. I reminded him of the agreement we both signed that said we promised to stay together for a year. Then I told him that it didn't have to end after a year. We could stay matched for many years and could continue to be friends once he was too old to participate in the program anymore. He thought about that a bit and then said that he liked that because I was perfect and he wanted to keep spending time together.

Good thing it was dark in the car.
