Three Years and counting

It was sometime in December 2001.

We had met for the first time a few months before, and knew from that first moment we were meant to be together. Both in unhappy marriages and both knowing there was something more for each of us if we took the leap of faith.

Well, that day in December I called cleo and said to her "What are you doing on 17th January?"
"Nothing" she said. "Oh good" I said, "Because I thought I would move in that day.."

And so, 17th January 2002, we became Master and slave 24/7. Three years that I can honestly say have been the best three years of my life. Today marks the anniversary of that first step, and we are closer now, than any other couple I know, without exception.

We share the same likes and dislikes, and the same common interests. We are soulmates, lovers, friends, and confidantes, parents and above all else, Master and slave. Inseparable.

I have gained so much in that time: spiritual growth, learning, happiness, and a family that I never had. I sometimes hear myself talking to cleo's daughters and think "God. I sound just like my Dad" Well, if being with cleo has made me more like Him then I can only say I am pleased, because I respected Him more than any other man I have ever known.

Naturally there have been good times and bad. Nothing is perfect; we all have to struggle to resolve daily issues of money, work, health and countless other things. What makes that easier to cope with is having a strong and solid foundation built upon a love which transcends everything else. No matter what life throws at us we will always survive because cleo and I are a team; we work best as a team, together. Mutual support is what we are about.

I know that cleo has written in her weblog tonight about this anniversary too and I am sure she has done a better job than me. But I could not let this day go unrecorded, because it is important to both of us. Furthermore this year, we have decided to be married as well.

I have but one regret in all this: I only wish cleo and I had met 30 years ago, rather than when we did, because we would be even closer now. We have time in the future of course, but less than perhaps we would have liked, although we will make the most of every minute of every day.

Finally , to my cleo I say this: my slave, I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as I will tomorrow. Thank you.
