No, This Isn’t Going To Turn Into A Sappy Blog…

…full of flowers and kitties and mushy baby talk and thanking God for new blessings.

I do all that stuff, of course. Just not publicly.

I do it in private, talking with Babs. Usually when I’m trying to talk her into naked webcam action.

So far no luck, though. She’s stalwart, I’ll give her that.

I’d describe the last week as a whirlwind, but that wouldn’t be accurate. The whirlwind was the month I spent thinking it, wondering if she felt the same way, afraid to say it so soon. I spent my days anticipating the chance to talk to her each night, and spent my conversations with her wrestling my emotions, aching with things left unsaid. I was in turmoil.

Saying it erased all that. No more whirlwind. Just…peace.

That’s the best way to describe it. Peace. As in, no more searching, no more simply treading water hoping not to drown. She brings me peace.

The funny thing is, some of you guys recognized it before I did. I can be a dolt that way. We both treasure all your comments and well wishes over the past few days. They mean a lot.

So even though I intend to return to toilet humor and thinly veiled sarcasm forthwith, I hope y’all will indulge me if I lapse into something sappy now and then. That’s what happens when you’re in love.
