It’s Tom and I’s anniversary today! Our 4th lap
around the Sun together. I can’t believe it has been this long, only because it
has felt SO short. My time with him has been filled with uncontrollable
laughter, tickle fights, challenging conversations, empowerment, daily
adventures, and larger adventures. The lessons I find through relationship with
Tom have been…perfect. In the right quantities, at just the right times. Even
the challenging parts, I find myself reflecting and thinking…”damn that was
hard for me…but it feels like exactly what I needed.” I’m so grateful to be
with him. He is always there to bring me back down to Earth with I fly out a
little too far, and he is always ready to hold space when I ask. I am always pulling him further when he is too far grounded. This year it played out as a trip to Alaska.
Together we
are constantly reminded of the wild significance of communication. Honest
communication at ALL COSTS…even if your scared to say something, or afraid of
hurting feelings, communicate. It hurts much worse to not know how to show up
for one another. He has embraced and accepted me in all seasons and all forms. From
lovely raging bitch to sweet gentle nurturer, he has loved and embraced it all.
Tom, you are one hell of a human being. Thank you for your imperfectly perfect
loving for the last 4 years, cheers to the journey <3
