12/6/20— I think what makes me feel better after talking w/Boo about our eczema is the feeling that someone else in the world totally gets and understands that I can have an outward physical condition that looks ugly and still be a cool person and a good person. Like that we totally understand this about each other (I understand this about him too), for me, is what brings the relief and good feeling after talking with him. That he knows this about me. Maybe some other people, strangers, could do this with me too. Maybe R could do this with me too- I don’t doubt it. But just that: Boo does it, already. Understands naturally like FIRST HAND, because of his own condition similar to mine.

12/10/20— R said something pretty nice that was unexpected yesterday. I started eating a lot of fish/seafood recently- it’s a new diet I’m trying for my skin. He wanted to go to the Asian market because, “I want to get some fish for meu amor.” He said even if they sell it whole, he knows how to scale it and clean it and stuff, and he would do it, he said. It touched my heart that he was trying to help with my diet (and we went, and he piled the shopping cart with different kinds of frozen fish).

When I think about my husband –
There’s no way your mother could have known, but who knew forming inside her, 30 years ago:
The very hair and eyes and face
fingernails and hands and spirit
of my answered prayer.
