"My Favorite Things" TW 1, Day 3
Sunsets. They hold a special place in my heart as they remind me so much of Bradford. 
When he died, I got an "If you are reading this" letter. In that letter, he described a sunset better than I ever could:
"...I love your ability to see beauty in the smallest things, the things that everyone else seems to miss. You have changed my perspective on so many things… Remember the first time we watched a sunset together? We closed our eyes and you asked me to describe it to you… I was at a complete loss to convey what I was feeling, but I think now I can tell you… a sunset feels the same way that love does. There is this warmth that lightly touches you, teases your skin, yet at the same time consumes you, and it can be windy or bad but you don’t feel it as much because you are part of something so beautiful, so powerful, that it doesn’t affect you. Even though your eyes are closed, you can still sense this glow, this comfort. Your heart feels lighter and heavier at the same time, and you wish you could just stop this moment and keep things like this forever. That’s how it feels for me with you. You make my sunsets worthwhile."
