Stating the bleeding obvious I know, but you learn a lot of things in life don't you.
And thank god you do because I don't think I would have liked myself very much if I'd met "me" 15 years ago.
I think I can credit 99.9% of what I've learnt to other people, whether they have been friends, colleagues, family members or strangers. I've learnt the hard way, the long way , the easy way and the fun way...mmmmm the fun waaaaaaay *droool*
As grateful as I am to everyone past, present and future, I've learnt more about myself from my partner JR than from anyone. And for that I am humbled and grateful. He's been the constant in my life for a few years now and I still have to pinch myself that I'm the luckiest sod in the world.
Happy Anniversary sweetheart - thank you for your patience, blunt honesty and passion and...well just being you and being there for me.
(In younger, less-greyer, thinner times!)
