Today is a little rough and tough for me, but I
have to remember that I am lucky. Seriously lucky. I am lucky because
for the rest of my life, no matter how long or short that may be, I will
have always known True Love because I was loved by
KC. He made me believe that love could be like what we read in poetry
and see in films. It is because of who he was that I allowed myself to
really open my heart and become so vulnerable as to fully experience a
reciprocal and beautiful love. One that was so strong that strangers
would tell us at restaurants what a sweet couple we were and that they
could see how in love we were. KC's love hit me like a bullet and I
never looked back; I never doubted it. Because of KC and the deep,
profound way he loved me, I am able to love back in the same way, in all
of my relationships, even those that haven't yet been forged. I am a
product of True Love and today is the day that is celebrated. This is a
picture of a sign KC made for me for our first Valentine's Day together.
He worked on it for hours and brought it to my work to show everyone
how he loved me. The poster is about 20 feet long, so KC asked our dear
friend Trevor to hold up the other end. I remember being behind the bar when they
came in and held this sign and I was so nervous thinking that KC was
proposing to me. I just kept thinking "I don't want to get engaged at
Outback!!!" I was floored by his grand gesture, and the sweet, proud
smile on his face is something I will never ever forget. I miss KC and
the love that we shared. Today, with a heavy, heavy heart, I remember
how lucky I am to have known this great and tragic love. And to you, my
facebook family, know that when I say I Love You, I mean it from the
deepest, most sacred part of my soul, because that is the only way I
know how to love anymore.
