How many preconceived and judgmental notions will force me to abandon those I love. I wonder while the puddles beat out rhythm for natures honest song why it is necessary for me to live quietly, why when someone asks about my lover they assume it is a man and assume I have only one... and... to be on the safe side... I let there assumptions go uncorrected. While the rivers push their banks I wonder if my children will be punished because there mother loves a woman... if they will suffer because their mother finds happiness in the arms of two instead of one...

As the rain comes down and I remember the smile on my own face this morning while I watched my bois look at one another and I saw the love in their eyes. When I remember the calm and happy realization that this was now my Family... that us, the THREE of us, were what I had been waiting for.... I began to wonder.

But, with all my wonder... there are also some things I KNOW. I KNOW that our love will overcome every obstacle that the cruel and frightened world can throw at us. I KNOW that our children will be strong enough to tell the world that different is good. And I KNOW that this is exactly what I want and I couldn't be happier.

Different IS good, you are an amazing woman/mother and those bois are extremely lucky to have both you and those kids in their lives (though I'm sure they already know that)


What's on My mind is this:

One phone conversation, a future ahead full of wonder and questions, knowing what I want and hoping that things will work out as I want them to
