In sickness and in health
I am here writing whilst my love is upstairs sleeping cause he is not feeling well.
I adore Erin - we have grown closer over the past couple of days - and I have been thoroughly enjoying our life together. For instance, we went to the West-side Market and had and blast, came home and made love (and it was wonderful as it always is), and then we went shopping together. Nice - it was just so nice to be with Erin and well...live our life together. Even the 'ordinary' and mundane tasks become special because I get to be with Erin.
Through love, life, troubles and joys I want to be with him.
The other night we watched 'Blood Diamond'
...an excellent though brutal movie about the 'diamond wars' - I don't like violence we already know this - but in the context of this story it's essential - perhaps it may make you sit up and pay attention - or perhaps you may feel a bit hopeless (I am sort of in this stage) - insomuch as what can we possibly do to stop such senseless brutality and does our paying attention make a damn bit of difference when the powers that be and the 'monied' in the world don't give a flying fuck - I have to hope against hope that what we do DOES make a difference, otherwise what's the point of trying to live a self-examined, purposeful life?
Which in turn, again, leads me back full circle to my love with Erin, which helps lend even more meaning to my life; how we feel about each other, how we treat each other, the conversations we have, the convictions that we share, has me even more convinced that this is meant to be.

Hope Erin is feeling better. I was sure glad to have my wife with me when I had eye surgery last year.
That WAS a good movie, wasn't it? I also saw The Departed which was great. If you haven't seen that I highly recommend it!
