Amanda-Faye Jimenez Instagram – At a party recently, someone asked Jo if they come to all of my performances. They said yes, and described themselves as my “Dance Mom” which is very funny, but also I would not have guessed that they knew about the show Dance Moms if you had asked me.
Jo, two things among many I love about you are that you often surprise me even when the answer is unsurprising, and you let me be the funny one in public most of the time, except when it comes time to roast me, when you really just cut loose.
Not to be obnoxious, but also recently, we were at a diner and the young gay server said we were so cute because we were holding hands across the table. I wondered if he thought we were a new couple. It suddenly felt important to me that he know we aren’t, and that such things are possible over a decade down the line, because I didn’t know that before, and I wish I had. I am so grateful I do now.
Jo, two more things I love about you are that you hold my hand a lot, and whenever I’m walking very closely behind you, my boob crashing into your back un-erotically as you are trying to navigate us to our destination, you say “why are you walking so close to me?” even though, or I guess I kinda hope because, you know I will say “I like to be very close to you! I wish I could just walk inside your skin!” And then you call me a creep, and we laugh.
My love, thank you for holding me up somehow more than ever this past year, when I was so scared to step on stage I wanted to run, when I was literally falling over with grief. Sorry to say, but you kind of HAVE been letting me walk inside you, or maybe the other way around, but in any event, I couldn’t have stood at all without your strength, of course, but most of all the playfulness of our love. You add meaning to every moment of the day for me. Happy Valentine’s Day, I love you so! 💕💫 | Posted on 15/Feb/2023 01:29:02
