Sometimes it feels like no matter how much joy and newness we’ve found, the past will never let us go. We’ve come so far and overcome so much and it’s truly been an amazing, wonderful journey. At the same time, we both keep figuratively looking over our shoulders and waiting for things to begin to crumble.
These six months have had the highest of highs and some of the happiest moments of my entire life. They’ve also had some real challenges and every time we allow ourselves to begin to think we might be in the clear to keep moving forward without any setbacks, we seem to run right smack into another setback.
Today was a tough one, to say the least. Some things came out that weren’t supposed to come out and they were serious enough to threaten all that we’ve been able to build since last August. It was a painful and frightening day and it reminded me how fragile our love still is and how much we really have come through.
On the other hand, it ended up being an opportunity to reaffirm, in the strongest of terms, our commitment to one another now. It was a chance to show each other and the powers of Hell itself that nothing will come between us or destroy the love we are building.
