When I read your new thread here I was quite surprised (pleasantly, of course). Obviously, this is a big step for him. Maybe writing in hopefulness would have been appropriate, but considering that you and he did have a R in the past I guess it all makes sense.
Also it made sense what you wrote about the different types of ILY's.
If you two find your way to Vegas in the near future, if at all possible I would like to be invited.
