alex is not interested in doing things in half measures. i met him in first grade and after we clicked over crayons, he invited me to join a club he chaired called ‘the cactus club’. it was strictly for lovers of prickly dessert succulents and thus far contained only two members; himself and my best friend. obviously i was down. upon my induction, the three of us drew ourselves some potted cacti which we then cut out and propped up on our desk in proud appreciation of cacti everywhere and to the utter delight of our teacher. it was, after all, a fine arts school. we could not spell or add but damned if we couldn’t render a life-like pot plant.
as much as i enjoyed my days in the cactus club, i don’t really care for cacti {sorry, alex}. the only thing keeping me there was his all-consuming and infectious enthusiasm. how could i not enjoy pretending to love them when he was lit up like a christmas tree just talking about areoles and nodes. he adored them, and when you love something you devote your time and energy to it. you sacrifice and you work and you do it all with a grin because doing anything else is not really living. he also feels that way about trains, which i will not get into because those are a whole. other. level. i am grateful to have not been invited into the train club, honestly.
alex loves tiffany like that. they got engaged after a few months {fist-bump} and have been building up to the rest of their lives for the last 8 years. and she has blossomed under the acute adoration that i have only ever seen in alex. their wedding on vancouver island was their promise that they would forever hold each other in such high regard. that they would embrace marriage together with a fervour that will grow during the years and wield only with their dying breath.
as an innocent bystander to a 5-year-old alex’s fanatical obsessions, i have no doubt they’ll make it and make it look easy.
