thks for the advice !
my yf is nearly 10 and is awesome in every way. i also am realising that he is a 'rare breed' . He is very touchy feely, he craves for the 'love language' of touch. His bro said last weekend to his mom how much he also adores me. So much so his mom has asked me to be a mentor to my Yf's younger brother as well. Because she said she can see the positive influence i am having in their lives.

She also said that she knows that God has brought us together and that she trusts me with the care of her sons.
Can it get any better than that ?
