Closing of one book, opens another.
Tonight marks the end of an era so to speak. Well yesterday night I guess. I needed a night to think over what I wanted to say even though still I'm not sure. October of 2008 my life changed as many already know. Our move across the country. In fact it changed many lives. Though most for the worse, when I think about it. I left my mother, grandmother, brothers, and sister behind. Hoping to find a new life. A new life with Caleb. We headed for his home in VA. He practically dropped his life to do this. And we did this, because we loved each other and we wanted a new start. Who wouldn't right. However who would have seen the train wreck to come right?
I don't want to go into details about the time we spent together because, well I've closed that chapter. However that book is finally coming to a close now. Completing the circle. He's finally going back to the home he once knew. The one he gave up for me. Only the trip we made here as a family, he's returning alone. They say there are some roads you have to take alone. And to be honest for the past nearly two years that's what we've been doing. Going our roads alone. I feel I'm finally on the path I was meant to be on. And finally he gets to go back to his path.
I'm an honored to call him my friend, and I owe so much. That sometimes thinking about it overwhelms me. He kept me alive since I was 16. He's given me so much that I don't even know what to thank him for anymore. For protecting me, for taking me somewhere safe. For loving me, even when I couldn't love myself. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for bringing me to my happiness, because I would have never been able to get here on my own. Thank you for believing in me when no one else did. You've been my hero, my best friend, my lover and so much more. Your finally going home, and I pray you find everything I've found here. Stay safe.
With All My Heart,
Jori
