I remember going to the movies with Josh early on. Went to see TROY. I figured it would bore the heck out of me (he had studied greek history) till I saw who the stars were - LOVED it. But I remember him taking my hand and holding it - similar to what you described. And I remember how "loved" I felt by that gesture.
We still always hold hands at the movies. And when we're walking. And even when we sleep at night. (yes - really - even after nearly 8 years). It is an intimate gesture that reminds us of our closeness and commitment.
You are moving slowly but you are moving. Savour every minute!
