What a week!

First, I'd like to take a moment to give thanks to the men and women who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Those who have passed and those who continue to serve are owed a huge debt of gratitude. Mere thanks are not enough.

In personal news, I came out to my partner this week. Not by choice, but he knew things were bothering me, and alluded to my situation. I had wanted to tell him at some point soon, but I was not sure when the right time might be. I guess there really is no time like the present. The situation presented itself, and I went with it...ready or not.

The initial response was very supportive. I was the one crying. But knowing my partner as well as I do, I knew that was just the initial response. Then came some confusion, sadness, more tears (from him in front of me), and possibly light anger at the situation. We had some deep discussions, and they left me worried it might be over for us.

As the week passed, things seemed to level out. The initial awkwardness of the first few days seemed to subside. We had a great long weekend. He did say that we will adjust to the new normal and figure things out together. That gives me great hope! Hope...the one thing I will not give up.

What does it all mean? I have no idea. One day at a time. That's all I can do, right? Sorry this is so brief, but I wanted to get it down and out there. Happy Memorial Day. Love and light.
