This is my boyfriend and I. We’ve been dating to 17 months and what a year and a bit its been. We’ve had a 7.1 and 6.3 magnitude earthquake, and as a result, we’ve lost houses and possessions. I’ve almost hit rock bottom and gone into a state of depression as the affects of the earthquake started to get to me. After the 6.3, it was 12.51pm. Lunch time. As soon as it stopped, 20 seconds later, I was already in tears and I grabbed my found out of my pocket and he had already text me “Im okay, are you okay, I love you forever”. I still have this text - I can’t bring myself to delete it. 12.51pm February the 22nd 2011, was what it was dated. This shows me how much he really does care for me and that even in the most death defying moments, he is always thinking of me. In one month alone, I had slept in 7 different beds (as a result of loosing my home and not having anywhere to stay) Callum and I didn’t see each other for almost 2 months because there was no school and roads were beyond damaged and liquefaction made it impossible to get any where. Callum still text me every morning when he woke up and regularly rang me to see if I was okay. Every aftershock, I would get a text “It’s okay baby, i’m here for you”. No one really understands how much earthquakes can effect you emotionally. He was there for me every step of the way, he’s the reason why I didn’t get to the point of depression, he’s the reason why I have so much love to give. Callum and I have been through hell and back. His mother has been in hospital for 3 months, so it’s now been my turn to be there for him. He would come to me crying saying how he wished he had never seen his mum so sick. He made her cards and bought her presents and flowers. He does the same to me. He writes me letters, and i’ve kept every single one since we first started dating.
On my birthday this year, he took me to his place and cooked me dinner, baked me a cake and his whole family sung my happy birthday and I swear it was the best feeling ever.
For christmas last year, Callum bought me a pandora bracelet, and has so far bought me up to 400 dollars worth of charms for it. He can never spoil me to much - so he say’s. He uses his hard earned money on me, and all he wants in return is to see me smile.
When he introduced me to his family, and extended family, I was either his “Mrs” or his “Wifey”. I loved being called this. His nickname for me is “Precious”. Not Georgia, Precious. Or he even sometimes calls me “Presh” for short. I swear this is the sweetest thing ever and I love being called this.
One day I over heated in the shower and fainted. My sister text him and told him this, so he ran all the way to the Palms shopping mall, which is about 10km away from my house, just to see if I was okay. He layed on the cold kitchen tiles with me and just drew on my tummy and played with my hair. He then scooped me up like a baby and tucked me into bed, and we cuddled and watched movies. He then also rang up the pizza company “Hells” and we got a pizza each, some churros and pepsi. He paid for this all by himself and it was just an amazing day relaxing. He really took good care of me :) The photo above, is of this day. It was amazing.
Callum is my best friend and boyfriend and I hope that I will some day marry him because it sure feels right <3
