"I've married you so many times in my head."

Today someone unexpectedly told me this and delivered it such that it melted my heart and made me start to cry.
We all have those people who we go to sleep dreaming about, who we spend countless hours fantasizing about, who--through countless transfigurations of appearance and personality--we have always held a sacred spot in our hearts for.
It's surreal to imagine that I could ever be that person to someone.

Karen, I hope your holidays were wonderful.
