Bonds not easily severed

Today is our 12th wedding anniversary. We have known each other well; we share bonds forged through joy and hard times, through our sober journeys, and through an honesty he has taught me. It is an honesty without bounds because the only trouble we have had, ever, has been because of me trying not to hurt him.

He has shown me, again and again and again, that there is nothing in my truth that can hurt him. Distrust kills hearts; truth frees them. His honesty is beyond bone deep; it is complete, simple; and it shines out to me, an example to emulate; courageous and absolute.

He says that he fell in love with my kindness; but that very kindness was incomplete when I was fearful and willing to lie for its sake. How far greater is the kindness I offer the world when it is founded in honesty!

I will love him forever. I may not be able to live all my remaining years with him, but I will always truly love this special person.

Happy Anniversary to the both of you :o) RYN: I have indeed been getting some sleep this weekend. I’ve gone to bed between 3-4am the last 2 nights, then didn’t roll out of bed until 3-4pm the next days. I think that qualifies me as being real lazy this weekend LOL

OH {{{C}}} He sounds like a very sweet man!! Happy Anniversary????? {{{HUGGS}}}

As always, thanks for your note. Happy anniversary. 12 years is a lot of shared experiences and understanding to be enriched by. May you both go gently.

Great, I found something to write about. BTW, Thanks for the great notes in my diary. Lately I have been drifting away from it’s original intent which was to dialogue with Christ. Anyhow, thanks for this entry…I love the insight about the way in which honesty robes the harmful potential of difficult changes and the development of our true selves. Very real stuff.

You kind heart deserve all the happiness in the world.
