| | 10 Years
It has been 10 years since I met Jeff. This is the day we celebrate because unlike many others in this world, we don't have a "wedding day" to mark. That's ok for us because what we mean to each other and how much we love each other is much more important.
I remember our first meeting as if it was only yesterday. Neither of us were looking to meet someone and I wasn't even out of the closet yet. It just happened. A series of events that seemed to almost be nothing more than something taking place in a day, came together and before we knew it, fate had taken our hands. If we both would have planned this, I doubt it would have ever happened out of fear.
But from that one moment we met and began to talk, our lives took a different course. We've seen each other through so many rough moments and we've laughed together, cried together and grown so much together. We are not the same people we were 10 years ago.
And for Jeff to put up with me all these years, well he's an angel because some days it takes a lot of patience. Even when life gets tough, I am glad I have Jeff to travel through it with because without him, it would be much more difficult.
So many out there claim that gays are the downfall of society and yet, I can't help but ponder that we've been together for 10 years. We didn't get together because we needed to or felt like we had to. We got together because our hearts drew us together. I hope we have many more years together for the future. He means the world the world to me.
The picture below marks our first meeting with a group of fellow survivors of child abuse. It was the first time outside of the internet message board we all shared, that we had ever met. We've lost touch with the people in this picture now but at one time, they were close friends.
