Finally, Frank.

Not finally as in, “Frank, why did it take you so long to ask me to marry you?”

But finally as in, “Frank, I’ve been waiting a long time for you.”

Everybody says their partner is exceptional, but Frank is really something else. When we first met — three years ago on May 11, no less, that special of specialist days — I knew he was different than the other people I’d dating or interacted with during my five years of dating up to that point.
