lucky number eleven

idag är det ju den 11 november 2011. 11/11/11. det är många tidningar som skriver
om det datumet, intervjuer människor som gifter sig detta datum, om en pojke som
fyller elva just idag. ja lite sådana saker.

men för mig och sean betyder det någonting helt annat. det är inte själva datumet
som betyder någonting, utan numret. 11. två likadana ettor, som alltid kommer
att vara tillsammans. kanske kan det låta fånigt, men det har alltid präglat vårt
förhållande, på något sätt. när vi har varit ifrån varandra (som nu, till exempel),
har vi alltid blivit påminda om OSS, genom detta nummer. det är fint för oss.
kan inte förklara det på något annat sätt.

today it's november 11th, 21011. 11/11/11. many newspapers have been writing about this
date, making articles with people who get married today, about a boy who turns eleven
today.

but for me and sean it means something totally different. and it's not the date itself,
it is the number. 11. two 1's that look the same, and they will always be together.
it might sound silly, but it has always been a part of our relationship, in some way.
always when we've been apart (like now, for example), we've always been reminded of US,
through this number. it's precious to us. and i can't explain it in any other way.

received an email this morning, this is what sean wrote to me, because of this date.
(just a part of it, don't want to publish it all):

"11 has become my number because its your number and now it is our number.
I see it everywhere and I love it. I love being reminded of what I never forget,
which is us and our love for eachother."
