Oh, make no mistake… This is nothing new.
She has an incredible way with words that will get me every time. She has been rude to me. She has been brusque with me. She’s trying to intervene in my life and my relationships. She’s dragged me out of the house in the middle of the night with obscenely inappropriate demands. It’s impressive that she hasn’t gotten me arrested by now.
And over 20 years… I’d let her do it all again and even moreso. Because everything in my life she has done with me, for me, or even to me… has enriched my life.
I am a better person than I would ever be if it weren’t for you.
My life, my gratitude, and some of the deepest love I can have for a person goes out to you this day.
And as per my promise… I have that view, and two rocking chairs. And we’re both sufficiently on our way to those grandchildren.
Happiest of Birthdays, fiannaharpar
Counting the years that pass in our lives is so much more blessed because counting them means you’ve been in my life that much more.

There is no one else on the planet that I would rather sing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” with

I’ve known you for just over half of my life. We’ve entered that state where we’ve been friends longer than we weren’t friends. We’ve been through dating, marriages, Diane, divorce, children, a cross-country move, a cross-coastal move, the SCA, my early 20’s, your father’s death, a micronation, the RHPS floor show, and WEYQ. We will be through much more together as the years continue to pass. Good and bad. I like the idea of this rather a lot.
There are very few things that I can say when another turn around the sun means you’ve been my friend another year.
I love you unconditionally, Andrei.
Happy Birthday.

That is beautiful.. on both of your parts.
Ironically
I came to the realization that Jenn (Above) is the reason I truly knew myself to be Poly though she herself is not.
I realized that I’d been going into relationships for years explaining Jenn as part of my life, that I don’t see her very often, but she is one of my deepest loves and I would drop everything at a moment’s notice for her. If my partner was not able to accept that and still believed that I was able to love them fully; then they didn’t really want to be close to me and understand my needs.
It wasn’t until much later that I really put this together with the fact that perhaps… love was not truly a one-to-one only thing for me.
Re: Ironically
I’ve got a bit of the same sort of deal.. With several people in my life. has been part of my family for over 10 years now, in one form or another.. and has been one of my best friends for about 6 years. They have very special places in my life & if someone didn’t understand that, things were just not going to work out.
Of course, things have gotten a wee bit more complicated in the past few years *grins*
Absolutely.
Finanna is amazing.
God bless you both.
You nearly got tears…then I saw your “Current Music”. I may have to kick your ass now ๐
I love you, Andrei.
*grin*
We will speak of your musical ‘tastes’ later.
Granted… at the moment… I have absolutely no idea what phone number I can reach you at. Cell is off, not at home… So much for live birthday wishes ๐
You young whippersnappers and all this new technology.
Re: *grin*
The Loc-Nar currently has me. Text me your phone number (the one I have on my phone is no good) – 412.606.1544
Beautiful ๐
