ebonytigress and Chris/Kifall are getting married today! I want everybody to know this so that you can
wish them well if you get the opportunity. For Ebby especially, there is no one person that deserves this more, and I get pretty defensive when people find love before I do...so this is saying something! ^_o;
I first started chatting with her well over six years ago. I was just a fanboy that couldn't stop gushing over her art back then. Little did I know that somehow, by reasons still unbeknownst to me, we would become good friends.
Those days I didn't know her seem so long ago.
I've shared things with her that I haven't shared with anybody else, and in turn I've had the privilege to have her confide in me. More than anything, her distant-yet-powerful influence on my life been indispensable--keeping me true to some of my values when I was tempted to abandon them because I thought it would've been easier. We've never had many misunderstandings, the rare few were quick to be forgiven.
Sheryn is a passionate and sensitive woman, independent yet caring and friendly, intelligent, witty and giving with a huge heart. I love her like my sister. *Pauses to fight tears*...may she and her husband live the life that both of them deserve: full of tears and joy, trials and triumphs...love and peace.
I wish I could be there, but that likely won't happen. To her presumed chagrin, I WILL definitely find a little something to do for them!
Honestly, I was never much for weddings, but I like her will always remember this day.
Hmmmm...and I think I just may have given her one of the last items that will carry her old name. I'll have to save that money order receipt!
