Let Love Win

With some hesitancy I posted this small collage of my proposal to E last Friday night (I'm struggling to leave that sentence as is because as we all know that is in fact the title of a Katy Perry song).

I hesitated due to the negative response we have received in the past when posting about this love we share.  I did not want anyone to tarnish the beauty of what lies behind the picture and as I am typing there has been no such thing.  There has been nothing but an outpouring of love and support but something (or someone) in particular made my day.  We received an apology.  Prior to the existence of us, I had developed what I thought to be a friendship with someone... it was a friendship that I no longer had after choosing love.  

This apology was to admit fault in walking away from my friendship...it was an apology that I gladly accepted and always will.  Finally people are beginning to see what we have known from the beginning.  They can see in pictures alone the magnitude of our love... and the beauty of it all.  

In the past I would have gladly accepted the apology but hold tightly the little piece of the hurt.  This is no longer an option for me.   The me that is undoubtedly in love with E has no room for hurt.  She fills me up with good... I don't have room for anything but happy.  

Now is the time I turn to anyone who might be randomly reading this (which I'm sure is all of 5 people).... there may come a time when you will have to sacrifice all that you have come to know in order to be with the person that you know you will spend the rest of your days with.  I don't know that I have ever understood the statement "when you know, you just know" more than I do at this very moment in life.  I have known from the moment E and I started that she was "it" for me.  Don't let self doubt or insecurities get in your way...

Let Love Win
