I Am Stronger Because of All I've Been Through

I am writing this, in remembrance of my Huckleberry friend. We had so much fun that I could ever imagined. He had given me a reason to be happy, a reason to see the positives in life. We had shared so much with each other. I felt like, with him everything was safe. And I was myself.

It was everything I wished for and more. For the first time in a long time, I smiled so much that my cheeks hurt! I laughed so hard, my stomach hurt! I had this sense of wanting to be wanted by someone, and to me, that felt so good and it felt so right because I was being wanted.

I thank him from the bottom of my heart, for the memories. I thank him for listening to me, for making fun of me, and with me. I thank him for making me feel safe. I thank him for the hugs and kisses. I thank him for opening up to me about his life. I thank him for meeting me, just to catch me before I went to work or when I got back home. I thank him for finding it funny some of the things I did. I thank him for the late night chats, the endless amount of chats. I thank him for letting me visit his page and mentioning my name. I thank him for making me jump when he posted something about me. I thank him for showing me how great of a man he was. I thank him for making sure I was happy at all hours of the day. I thank him for letting the the child in me come out and played even with reckless abandon.

To the tall, dark and handsome friend, who made me smile again, I don't know how I lived without you. Looking back, I am blessed to have met you. I am even more blessed beyond words to had you partake in my life's journey. After EP, it's never the same again. Well I guess, it's because I have grown so much from the experience. So I thank you for the greatest legacy of a friendship can ever give:[b][i] "Because of you I don't stray too far and learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt."[/i][/b]

I still keep the picture of the cake I bought for him one Valentine's Day. A portion of it. The whole cake has his name on it hence I cannot show. He's here but not active. If he saw the picture, I'm sure he would remember.

It's both amazing and sad how this all works. Anonymity requires both a leap of faith and a cautious mistrust. For the site as well as individual connections. It mirrors real life connections just takes way longer because so much information is missing. Isn't it great when you do get some confirmation that your intuitions are correct and you stumble upon the needle in the haystack? Happy you found joy in your journeys. Cheers.

Thank you, nu. EP days were fun days like no other. I can't believe it myself, the connection went on for four long years. It wasn't all roses, there were many rough times, too. Yet we always got back to each other, idk, why.

Indeed, I was blessed to have found such a rare friendship/connection. Tho bittersweet, knowing you could never be friends in RL.

And as for you, my friend, I am also blessed to have you as a friend, in this (SW)life.

Happy Valentine's. 💝
