“He was so easy to love. He made you feel safe. When he held your hand it was like you were flying. When he kissed your face you felt like you could fly. He made crossing the road feel like an adventure; with his hand on the small of your back. He laughed at things easily, he was soft, gentle, kind. He understood when you were quiet, when you were loud. He listened. He listened to your words, and he listened to your silence. ‘Come here,’ he would say, with his arms open wide, and you would go. ‘Stay,’ he would beg, and you would stay and you would stay and you would stay.”
