Three years ago I met a woman who touched my life more greatly then any human ever has. A woman who was, and is, simply a joy to be around and who is one of a very rare breed of humans....real. I can still remember our first kiss and our first date but who would have known back then the wonderful and beautiful journey I was about to take. We loved, we fought. We laughed and we cried together and thru it all you loved me and stayed by my side even when it wasn’t what you most wanted......you endured and found joy and in all of it you did something that I will never be able to repay you for so long as I live. You gave me the gift of honestly looking at myself and opening my eyes to all the wonders around us.
So many wonders enter my mind as this chapter in my life ends and a new one begins and so many fears come rushing in also. I know that I have a friend who I can always turn to and talk with and who knows me.....really knows me and still loves me. I wish I could bottle you up and take you with me but I know that I cannot so I will do the next best thing. You taught me to accept people and to find the best in them all and I will take that with me. You taught me to not fret the small stuff. You taught me to just love with my heart and to pass that joy to others....you did all this without saying a word my love because this is how you live. Anyone who has the joy of having you in their lives is ever more an enriched person and a better person but most of all a blessed person for you are who you are...no false character who guards themselves in fear of people knowing who they are. You put yourself out as you are and people love you. We all can learn from you , learn that life is better when you are simply yourself. You taught me this (and many) great lesson in life and for this I can never repay you but to say thank you for preparing me for the journey I have ahead. I would never be able to undertake what is coming without having had you in my life. Facing the fears and challenges coming and the strength to do so comes from what we had....I have a long and windy road ahead but now I face it with confidence and excitement....Thank you my love. You will always have a piece of me and I gladly leave that with you.
You are the one person I know in life that I will never have any doubt will secede because you already have. You have concurred so much more then any of us have and come out shinning. You are like a bottle of wine and I can say over our three years together that you just always got better with time.
Thank you for all you have done for me and allowing me to be a part of, I will forever cherish our memories.

Re: A very special thank you!!!!
Tue, September 21, 2004 - 6:45 PMAhhhh, Dragi, love.
These last three years have been so amazing. You, too, have taught me so much. I am truly fortunate to have found you after the end of my marriage. You gave me faith that I could live my life as I wished instead of conforming to what others insisted. I learned so much ...
... that I was a hyperdefensive bitch when I first dated you (remember those fights?? i do, and fondly now, even!), and how to stop being that and start taking responsibility for my mistakes and my personal challenges.
... about integrity! You have the most strict sense of it in any human I have come across. And you bear it well. Never have I met anyone whose word means more and whose honesty is so complete. I strive to equal you, and will continue to do so. We all make errors in judgement, but you have been so generous with forgiving mine. You are a good person Dragi. Anyone who knows you respects you and feels in good hands if you have given your word. I cannot count the number of people who have told me of the respect they have for you over the years.
... that I even like spankings or being an exhibitionist or even being able to have a longterm polyamorous relationship. Good grief! I used to cringe when thinking about these things ... and you opened my eyes to whole new worlds of excitement and sensuality. We experiemented so much together, learned so much together about these things and ourselves and our personal boundaries. I feel fortunate to have had such a loving, caring, and adventurous lover, in you.
You have so many wonderful qualities (ignoring those discussed above): intelligence, a gregarious nature, genuine sweetness (don't worry, I won't let it get around), a huge heart, and the rare quality of willing to admit when you were wrong (not often, of course ;)
I love you. I loved us, while that still applied. You will go far, personally and professionally. I don't doubt it one iota. I never experienced so much love as I did while we were together, and I know you will spread that love forward into your new life and relationships.
You will be in my heart for all time.
Good luck on your new road, darling.
I wish you even MORE happiness than you have given me.
Kristie, always here for you. -
