A gift for my Gem. Happy Anniversary

[TrueGemini'sWife GG]

For My Gem...


There was a time, not long ago I thought I understood
But standing here right now I see, I really never could
Though my heart was there completely, my mind was still adrift
Only now I see so clearly, why true acceptance is such a gift
I always thought I "got it",-each soul has the right to be unique
My Honey liked to play "dress up" and his secret I would keep
But it's only now that I do realize, It's only now that I can see.
That standing here before me, is her looking back at me
It's no longer what he's wearing. It really never was
It is only now I see her, in everything thing he does
All those things that I so treasure, that had stole my heart one day
The kindness and compassion, the gentle, loving way...
All these things I love about him, that soul that's bound with mine
Turns out belongs to her. She has been here all this time
It's her that has been in disguise. Not the other way around
When opening up both heart and mind, the truth is finally found
It is not he that wears her clothes, it is her that wears his skin
For the one the world sees on the outside, is not the one who lives within


Happy Anniversary, My Love
Thank you for for coming into my life
and showing me what "true love" really is...

Pattie

It is always nice to hear things like that about our parnters in life no matter what clothes they wear, or where each of us are in our lives.
I commend you both and wish you a wonderful anniversary.

[TrueGemini'sWife GG]

Thank you all so very much, but I didn't mean to mess up your make up, Ladies.


Thought I would post it now, because I miss my Gem so much today. Our true Anniversary isn't until Monday, but I am working late that night, so we plan on celebrating this weekend. Gem is in Maryland till very late tonight, so I wanted to leave her a surprise to find when she gets home.
I wanted to leave her something to remind her how very much she is, not only loved and cherished, but also understood.
I am so very lucky to have such a wonderful husband.

Thank you all again for being so very sweet...

Wow! Patti, you really do "get it". I'm amazed. Gem is as fortunate to have you as you feel to have her. May there be many, many more years to come for the two of you.

[Katrina]

Pattie,
That was amazing...Happy Anniversary to you and Gem!

[Melissa A.]

*Sniff* Aw, heck, look at me blubber. Gonna get you for that, Pattie!

The love in your words couldn't be more real, I am really happy for you both. Seeing the real person, and the beauty within, is a gift, Pattie, that few have.
Here's to many more for you and Gem.

Hugs,

Melisa :)

Thank you all so much for your love, support and kindness. We are so very blessed to have such wonderful friends. It still amazes me, that many people feel that internet relationships are not real ones. I guess that must be because they never found their way here.

I am also quite surprised that what I wrote touched you in the ways it did. I just hope that through the tears and running mascara, (Sorry Ladies) it made you smile too.

Though I am sure you have all heard this before, I am the lucky one in this relationship, truly. I could not ask for a better husband, a better partner, a better Father for all our crazy children or a better friend.
Second chances in life, in my opinion, are the most precious, promising and rewarding.
I am so happy I got my second chance, with Gem. I cannot imagine my life without her in it.

[DanaJ]

It has been 2 happy years now, thanks!
:Dyeah, but how many total years have you been married? :p

DanaJ

[TrueGemini'sWife GG]

yeah, but how many total years have you been married? :p

DanaJ
Very funny, BRAT!
:p

By the way...
Where the hell have you been and why are you hiding?
I can see ya breathing, ya know!

[Holly]

Oh Pattie, that was so beautiful! That poem should be MANDATORY reading for all SO's! May you and Gem continue to more and more to celebrate with every passing year. Congratulations to both of you for capturing the true meaning of love.

[TrueGemini'sWife GG]

You are just too sweet...

I would be nice if it helped some uncertain GG's and SO's understand just a bit more. It would make life so much easier and more enjoyable for everyone involved.

Cheers! Here's to hope!
;)

[ChristineRenee]

Happy Anniversary hon!
