I'm still working through a lot, and it's been painful, but through is the operative word. The squid is making it abundantly clear that he's not going anywhere, and I can call or come by any time I feel bad and need to talk. And talking helps.
Trousers is also providing comfort. Lots of hugs are good. I'm thankful.
It's ok to do some grieving, but there's no reason to get trapped in the past. It's been a wonderful relationship (it wouldn't have lasted this long if it wasn't), and all of it has trended to where we are now, and I have faith it will continue to be a loving and important connection.
I'm looking forward more to DCon this weekend. I think we'll have a blast. Sometimes on my birthday I can be more sensitive, so I hope I don't get maudlin or anything. The weekend after is my annual birthday drag party, so that'll be fun too. I am worried that after all of that peters out, I'll stop hearing much from the squid, and get depressed. I hope time will bring faith in our love, which has, after all, proved itself enduring.
Staying positive when possible.
