I could have done something for myself and he could have continued with his day too. But, he chose to cook for me. He prioritized me. Cooking for me was his way of showing presence, and it was lovely. He is a reticent young man who has achieved a bunch on his own. And we are all so proud of him.
He prepped one of my favorite dishes and I totally relished it. We talked about work and life and everything in between. As I said, he is a reticent young man, but he laughed and joked and shared when I was around. It was so heartwarming to hear him. It was just him and I. Sometimes these…
