People notice his movie-star good looks
\nbut his inside is even more spectacular.
\nI cannot imagine my life without this wonderful man.<\/p>\n
Non-judgmental, he really listens. And helps and encourages. Every one needs a man like him.<\/p>\n
His thoughtfulness and ability to make me laugh helps rid tension at the end of a day.
\nIn turn, I don’t overeat, so he’s helping keep me thin.<\/p>\n
I dubbed him “My Husband” and we joke that ours is the perfect marriage:
\nwe don’t sleep together and
\nwe live in separate apartments separated by four floors.
\nClimbing the distance helps keep both us in shape.<\/p>\n
He remembers my birthday and picks me up things on sale.
\nWhen I need a shoulder to cry on, he offers me both of his.
\nAnd a stuffed animal.
\nAnd then he hugs me until I stop sobbing.<\/p>\n
When summer began, he surprised me by doing my windows.
\nAll five of them.
\nI didn’t realize I had such a beautiful view of Manhattan.
\nThat step started an avalanche.
\nI decided to declutter and rid my place of unwanted items.
\nWhich led to a greater appreciation of my home.
\nI re-arranged furniture so that my “new” apartment is welcoming.
\nI sleep better and am more creative.<\/p>\n
He supports my artistic lifestyle and never makes me feel bad about my decisions.
\nEven my stupid, “what-was-I-thinking?” ones.<\/p>\n
By living frugally, we keep ourselves out of debt
\nand a coffee out becomes a great treat.
\nIt’s not about the location, it’s about the company.
\nAnd he’s the best you could ask for.<\/p>\n
With him I understand why people want marriage.
\nHe’s a partner, helping me evolve and grow as a person and as an artist.
\nSuch a journey is not without stumbles,
\nand his strength picks me back up and puts me back on track again.<\/p>\n
Ours is a fairy tale friendship.
\nIt took me several decades, but
\nI met my modern day Prince
\nand days I’m feeling particularly generous,
\nI share him with my other wonderful friends. <\/p>\n
Everyone needs a Prince Robert Bruce. People notice his movie-star good looks but his inside is even more spectacular. I cannot imagine my life without this wonderful man. Non-judgmental, he really listens. And helps and encourages. Every one needs a man like him.

\nTo him, I say,
