Remembering Boston

I’ve been thinking about our time in Boston back in 2008 - 12 years ago this month - little sweetheart. Indeed, whenever I go to Boston now, I always think of our time there together. 

You were doing Tom Stoppard’s play Rock n Roll in San Francisco at ACT and the production came to Boston’s Huntington Theatre for a six week run. I remember how excited you were when you got the job and asking me if I “would be (your) boyfriend in Boston”. Of course! And everywhere else, too! 

You were wonderful in the play - I saw it several times in SF and soon after you opened in Boston I came up and stayed with you in the sweet little apartment - graduate student housing for Boston University - where they’d put you up. It snowed while we were there. And we walked around Boston on your days off. I’d go running around the Charles River when you left for rehearsal and cook dinner for you before or after the show. We visited the JFK library and went to film society benefit in Cambridge and met Willem Dafoe. And I was there for your birthday, too. I made you dinner and a cake and we had a lovely evening that night after the show. 

I have such memories of our time there together, my little sweetheart. I’m thinking about it tonight and holding you so very close in my heart. How grateful I am for you! 

With all my love forever.
