Well, that's not the only thing Drew is gifted with. He is, for instance a natural athlete. We used to go to Central park and play baseball in pick up games, and, though he hadn't played in years, he would pick up a bat and hit the ball wherever he wanted to hit it. In football games he could catch a ball in a pack of people. All you had to do was put the ball in his vicinity.
Denny is like me, in that he has to work at being good. I would prefer that Drew doesn't coach Denny, in that, what works for Drew, doesn't necessarily work for people who are less gifted.
I did the whole dance class thing, but Drew is a natural. We went out ballroom dancing, and, though he had never done it before, all I had to do was show him a dance step once, and it looked like he came out of the womb dancing. Of course I had to let him lead, which was uncomfortable for me.
Drew is also the smartest man I've ever met. I studied writing for many, many years, but, we did a thing where we both wrote short stories, and his was so much better than mine. It made me queasy, in a sense, but it also made me proud, so I let him read Denny's writing assignments.
He's also a good father. I know Denny loves me, but, when the sh*t goes down Denny always goes to Drew first. The way Denny looks at him is beautiful. They really have a special bond, and, this, after Drew told me he didn't want kids when we first met.
Since we're both positive now, he can't have kids of his own, and we've been talking about adopting. I can see Denny, and know he's mine. An adopted child wouldn't be Drew's, any more than Denny is, but he's such a good patient man, and father, that we have decided to see if we can adopt a child.
I know this sounds like a testimonial to Drew, but, once I start, I just can't stop talking about what a great person he is. He's my husband, and he's my pal, and I'm just so f*cking lucky to have met him.
Bear,
You and Drew are an example to all of us. I wish I could be as loving as you both.
Hugs and kisses,

I'm sorry! We should have invited you!
Don't know... stranger things have happened! 
My first car wasn't nearly as glamorous... '80 Ford Fairmont. Holy crap I hated that car. Dad used to make me stop on hills so I would get comfortable easing the clutch with out rolling too far back. I peeled out so many times... just 'cause I didn't like it rolling!
My niece and stepson are both April 20th. My wedding anniversary is April 30th, 3 years, yay! And my husband's birthday is May 10 which is the day before Mother's day this year! Talk about being broke!!!!!
