Today is the 5th anniversary of Swan joining our family. She came to us on the treads of Toyota, hauling her entire life from Colorado to the unknown Wilds in Ohio. She has brought great love to our lives and is the sister I have longed for forever. We have found that 2 sister-hearts can raise a Dominant, whether he likes it or not!
With her presence, we are stronger and better people. And the community around us is raised up.
Tom shines when Swan is around. She cares for Him as no other, and I am ever so appreciative that she cherishes Him as I do. For this, I adore her all the more.... for loving us.
I love you both with each breath I take. Here's to the rest of our lives together.

And I love you, my most wonderful wife, not only for who you are, not only becuase you found me when life had left me broken and saved me, not only for the joy you find in life and others and create in the world, but for accomodating my love for swan, and embracing her, and making her love and our love become our family.
ReplyDeleteI am never happier than when we three are at dinner togethter, or making a Thanksgiving happen, or snuggling in bed together, or scening in a dungeon together. I don't know if it is my love, or my contentment, or my pride, that outshines the joy I feel in being family with you both.
I hope we will have mnay more years together and that life will soon bring us adventures beyond the seemingly incessant health care ventures we seem to have encountered in the last five years. (You don't think this could have somethin to do with our age do you:)
I love you and all of us so much, there are times I fear I will explode.
There are wrtings about polyamory that sugar coat the experience and glorigy it as a strategy to achieve wondrous unbelievable sex. There are others who write incessantly about its challenges and difficulties (all too real).
Our lives can attest to the challenges of this lifestyle. Our lives too attest to the many unique assets and strengths a family like ours has. There is no way to experience this reality except in its totalilty. I think the greatest challenge is remembering to separate the issues that are really life issues from the others which are of our own creation, wrestling with the internal stigma we feel at our deviation from the life plan we were aculturated to believe was the "right" way to win as we grew up.
I love you and swan beyond words and cannot ever express gratitude to you both for the joy and caring you bring to my life.
I am the luckiest of men.
Mores & mores,
Mine Always and All Ways,
Tom
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.
Sister -- Between us we had nothing but brothers, and now we have each other. There are times when the way we think, on a wavelength that we share and that He cannot fathom, scares Him half to death. I cannot imagine how I ever came to be so lucky as to have you in my world, but I would not trade you for a fortune in gold or jewels. You are the sunny side of my heart and I love you beyond what I might have ever imagined.
ReplyDeletehugs, swan
