When I think of things that I have on my mental list for which I am proud, I count my relationship with Brian at the top. This is not in some boastful or token look at us manner. Rather, this sense of pride stems from twelve years filled with attraction, growth, shared dreams, fun memories, trust, respect, independence, comfort, a continuing friendship and a love, connection and understanding of another person in ways I didnt even imagine possible. Also, because amidst all this there has of course been occasional raised voices in disagreement, fights, eye-rolling, frustration, egos, tongue biting, silence...(sometimes even on anniversaries) though each brought to equilibrium with compromise, apologies, discussion and forgiveness. Ive been asked how weve made it so long to which I never have a magical calculation which adds up to the passing number of years. Even if I did, its doubtful it would be one which could be applied universally between two other people. It honestly feels like it was just yesterday that we were back in New England on some shared excursion together like hiking around Gillette Castle State Park and sneaking off the trail to go skinny dipping in the Connecticut River. Time passes so quickly. Too quickly. I am proud of the men we have grown to be, individually and together and thankful to call Brian as my partner each day along the way in this life. Happy Anniversary Honeybuns!
