Hi! It's great to finally write...Turtle Woman,<br /><br />Hi! It's great to finally write something to you. I always appriciate your thoughts, suggestions and life experiences. I know for me, they really do challenge me towards a full and expanded worldview of inclusion.<br /><br />But I read your comment today and I think it's ridiculous. I don't care that you don't celebtrate hetero marriages. <br /><br />You're being a hypocrite. <br /><br />Brenda doesn't know I'm writing this to you..though she will obviously see it when it's posted. <br /><br />However, she has been nothing but gracious to you. And here you go spitting on her heartfelt words about our relationship. That's wrong. You need to apologize.<br /><br />Brenda and I have LOTS of LGBT firends who are married/civil unions and/or in committed relationships. We celebtrate those with them everytime because those are real relationships. So is Brenda and mine.<br /><br />I know Brenda would celebrate with you and your partner every single milestone you both have! That's how much she loves and cares. <br /><br />You just showed me how much you don't love or don't care about anyone except yourself and your narrow worldview.<br /><br />I hope realize your arrogance and insensitivity to what she (and I) care tons about through our relationship - just like you care for yours.<br /><br />What if I were to write to you on your anniversary what you just wrote about us? I don't think you would like it too much; and probably go on some 'hetero-normative' rant. It amazes me how many folks out there love invalidating everyone else, but when someone invalidates them they get offended. Brenda has never, ever, attacked or invalidated you. Don't do it to her (or I or our relationship).<br /><br />Much love.<br />AndrewAndrew Marinhttp://www.loveisanorientation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701606478391231933.post-51292270946424999792010-11-08T09:37:29.803-06:002010-11-08T09:37:29.803-06:00Turtle Woman - I respect your feelings and where y...Turtle Woman - I respect your feelings and where you are coming from. Although, I do not think it is fair, I still love and adore my husband and the time we have spent together. Our anniversary date is a time of reflection to look upon the previous year and anticipate the plans we have in this coming year. <br /><br />Leneit thank you for congrats and kind words! I love your wisdom!!!Brenda S.

Happy 3rd Anniversary! It only...Congratulations! Happy 3rd Anniversary! It only gets better the longer you are in this life together. I just turned to John tonight and said, "I can't be the strong one." He said, "I never asked you to be the strong one. I don't need you to be the strong one, I just need you to walk with me." Perfectly said. Perfectly true. Three different places in the Bible we are told to "leave and cleave" as they say: Old Test., Jesus when he was here, and Paul after Jesus was no longer on earth. I think the one flesh: two halves of a whole, is a powerful vision. It is great to celebrate the journey. 3 years- is just the start!!!<br /><br />much love- leneitaLeneita Fixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088856483687874715noreply@blogger.com
