When others see you, you seem like this bear of a man. They mistake your ambling ways, thinking your mind is as slow as your stroll. They don’t take the time to get to know you, to understand how truly brilliant you are.
How funny, and smart, and kind you are. Quiet, but resilient. Shy, but quick to smile. They can’t understand what a tender heart you have, how loyal you are to your family and friends.
Your outer strength hides the fragile child still inside. I only wish they knew you like I do, they would love you too.

What a lovely portrait. I love the contrasts of someone who is almost or already an adult who puts on one face to the world but saves the other for you, his Mom.
