1+1=2

 Dear God, 

I watch him while he sleeps and I see the turmoil he is conflicted with inside. I know his demons have nothing to do with me. I know his choices have no reflection on our relationship. I need to respect and understand that this is his journey also and I can't manipulate that. I believe at times I confuse passion with control. Yes, I have the option to stay, I also have the option to leave. If I choose to stay then I am choosing to allow him to be his own man entirely and navigate his personal journey. I am choosing to be a spectator and ready to assist when I am called upon. This is not a difficult task if we set boundaries. If we have respect for each other enough to let ourselves fully grow individually as well as together. I know we have a future because we don't see anyone but us and there is so much growing and learning to do. I know this. What I am asking for is strength to accept his choices, compassion to understand them, and patience to allow the journey to be journeyed. Him and I are stronger together and I am choosing him and I am choosing myself and I am choosing love and I am choosing us! 

Amen

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY EQUAL
