Four days have passed since Kay and I exchanged vows. Kay vowed that "wherever I go, she will go; my family will be her family and my God will be her God too." I promised that "our lives would be intertwined forever - in sickness and health - even death could not separate us because my ashes will be buried with her ashes". (And that's a true statement because we've already purchased an urn large enough to hold two sets of ashes....)
As soon as our Chaplain pronounced us "Partners in Life" the sun came in the window and touched our faces - was this the hand of God?
We've been to the Town Clerk here in Concord, NH and have obtained two copies of our Civil Union Certificate....the paper tells us we're not only legal as a couple but it also gave us a new look at life filled with all the pride and glory this recognition could possibly offer same-sex couples.
I hope and pray our story will inspire other New Hampshire same-gender couples (male or female) to take the same steps we did.
Our book, "Sisters by Heart - Partners in Aging", tells the story of how we met, how we fell in love and what we did to stay young in mind, body and spirit. It's an hilarious account of two women offering a recipe for living that is one of the most meaningful and heartfelt books about gay relationships.
