I celebrated last Christmas away from home in California with my dear friend Daniel. I will never forget that evening, the Eve of Christmas Eve. Most of Daniel's family was out doing last-minute Christmas shopping. Daniel and I were sitting in his living room talking quietly together. At one point in our conversation, he excused himself to another room (to call my Dad to ask for permission to propose). When Daniel came back he sat down, paused for just a second, and then asked. Simply, quietly, in his own words he asked. After a few moments of speechless joy, I answered yes.
It was perfect.
