"Mikey"

Throughout my entire life anyone that's truly loves/loved me calls/called me "Mikey." 
It still is very much the case - friends, family, adults and children. 

While it sounds stupid when said aloud, when I hear it coming from the person that is saying it, it is absolutely the most beautiful thing to my ears. It's kind of like they're telling me that they love me when they say it.

Mikey is the only thing my wife calls me, and it is interesting to others' reactions when she uses it in front of them. Some are downright mortified, and I wonder what they must be thinking, although in the end I could not care less.  I just stand there and grin like an idiot because they haven't a clue of what it really means to me.
