Dustin, another of my Denver-area friends I lost touch with when I moved to NC, caught me on ICQ the other day. We've been chatting back and forth for nearly a week now, and tonight he said he wanted to tell me something. Little did I know was that he wanted to say this:

"Did you know that people want you left and right? There are a lot of good qualities that you possess that make men wild. Now imagine, what would happen if Melissa opened up to this idea? To make my long statement short, I think you are one of the most incredible people I have ever yacked with. Why is this coming out of the blue? Because I have felt that way since I first met you. . . . you accept me for who I am. That means a lot to people."

I was a furiously-blushing shade of pink for several minutes after reading that. My day is several shades brighter now and it was so sweet I thought I'd share it. Thanks, Dustin.
