What is in a NICKNAME?

What is in a nickname? I have know idea but I can tell you how it made me feel last night when Michael called me "Bella". He has never called me anything other than my name or an occasional babe, hun, honey. I have always called him "My Love" because he is, but when I heard the simply words he said last night, WOW! He had heard it on a news program about the oldest lady passing and at the end of the story they had said something to the effect of Good Night Bella. It must have stuck in his head because he said it to me last night and the warm fuzzies that I had felt and love of the way it was said. I told him he can call me Bella anytime and how GOOD it made me feel. Knowing Bella in Italian means beautiful. and it really made me feel beautiful. He was able to reap the rewards of my feeling the effects of such a kind and simply word. Thank You My Love.
