SAPPY SENTIMENTAL SILLY DOM MAN!!!

Ok....so I'm just as sappy and sentimental, what can I say? But I'm FEMALE. It kinda goes along with the territory.

I asked Pete to promise me he'll pay attention to his body and get checked if something isn't quite right, no matter how silly or small he might think it is...because I want him to stick around awhile. Here's what I sent him, and his reply follows...I'm feeling all gushy and mushy inside...good lord what a freak I am. I never thought I'd go for all that mush and gush!! It's just not my style!!

At one point while he was in the hospital, and the IV was dripping, I started to cry. Then I laid my head on his lap. Here's more...

I will not go away.
This is not a threat, but a promise.
I will not go away through action.
I will not go away through inaction.
I want that chance with you too.
The seed has taken hold and is germinated.
Let's keep watering and feeding.
I am excited to see just how big and beautiful our love can grow.

Now, no more making the Dom cry at work!
Good tears and all, but gawd!



I felt so at peace yesterday when you slid over and laid your head on
my lap/belly/chest. You comfort me, encourage me, strengthen me,
challenge me.

Love,
Pete
