Being spoiled

Growing up I was 'spoiled,' well, not in the way people classify as 'spoiled.' I was loved plenty by my parents, they took my sister and I on many MANY trips to our Granny Aruffo's House, we spent every holiday season with one side of the family, we were always taken to the Zoo or Wild Animal Park or even Sea World ever so often by our mom, we were always tucked in at night, we both got pets over the years; cats, bunnies, hamsters, fish, a dog, and a few random rodents at various stages of our childhood. To many, that isn't spoiled, to me, it was and is. A lot of people I went to Elementary/Middle/High School with would not considered ANY of that spoiled. Growing up we were given a Nintendo by our dad and were told we only got 30 minutes of play a day and the rest was to be spent outside. We had about four games; Super Mario 2 & 3 and Dr. Mario; I guess that's three games, but we were allowed to rent a video game once a month or so. My Uncle Richard; on my mom's side, hooked us up with a few DOS games here and there. We had awesome games; Operation Neptune, Ancient Empires, Carmen San Diego, Oregon Trail, and countless more. We weren't taken to Disneyland much; but when we did both granny's would join us. we didn't wear designer clothes or drive expensive cars; I miss you Big Red Boat, but what did we have? We HAVE love.
When I got with David one of the very first things he did was spoil me, not with riches, but with love. Our first date was Stargazing at Hilltop Park in Rancho Penasquitos. I brought myself, David on the other hand brought pillows, blankets, and I think he even brought some food. More importantly, he brought himself, giving me the warmest, tightest hug filled with love I could ever imagine. Those hugs never stop, nor do I want them to, I can have the roughest day, and he's right there waiting for me, arms open, heart open, ready to embrace and take me in. He has filled the emptiness my heart felt for the last...14 years. Through the years I dated guys who I assumed filled that void, one came super close to filling it; Tim, but no one completely filled in until I met David. He has held my head up on so many occasions where I just want to give up, but thankfully, he won't let me give up. He spoils me in ways I never knew existed, or even allowed myself to think existed. He completes me and I wouldn't have it any other way, honest.
