As I steal time from my early work hours I remember a special occasion today. In a nutshell, exactly one year ago someone special to me gave me the oppotunity to be something more & made me a more intricate part of her life. Exactly one year ago, Andy said that sweet 'yes' to me.

And it's been an awesome year. It hasn't been all a bed of roses between us but I wouldn't have had it any other way. We've survived controversy that would've crushed lesser beings and the worst storm the country's experienced in decades and we just laughed it all off in the end.

And it's just been one year.

And I can't wait for the next, and the next, and the next. You get the drift.

In retrospect we can count ourselves lucky that we are where we are now. If we were together any sooner we would've been doomed to fail. She was having serious problems while I was immature. We grew and trusted each other just enough to enter the relationship and as such we continue to grow. Our stability is proof of that.

I count myself as a very lucky man. I have, hmmm, a 'unique' way of thinking, not mainstream to say the least. It'd take a very special kind of woman to accept me and my quirks. Andy is just that. I'm not really attractive to women so to have someone hot and smart like her just blows my mind.

However painful, our past helped shape us to be the person we are now. Sometimes I can't believe how good the two of us mesh together. Through Andy's turbulent past and my own tribulations here we stand, believing this could work and acting on it with every day that passes.

Through some twist of fate our anniversary coincides with the birthday of someone from my own past. So to honor those who shaped me to what I am today, here is a sort of tribute.

One taught me the meaning of patience and forgiveness.

Another taught me what it really means to let go and the beauty music can bring into your life.

Andy taught me the true meaning of happiness and contentment. And for that, I wouldn't have any other woman in the world.

P.S. - I'm quite sorry if this entry wasn't really up to par. My effing browser crashed as I was finishing and now the moment has slipped from me. This is what I remember best of the original post.
