Today is Sunday. It's a favorite day and it's the Lord's Day. It's also the morning I fix the special scrambled eggs that Kay loves. Rosey loves them just as much!! The recipe for the eggs is in "Sisters by Heart" under "Champagne Breakfast for Two". In summers in the past, we used to have breakfast out on the deck at the cabin overlooking the woods, and a small piece of Laurel Lake that could be seen through the enormous trees that just about obliterated the view I'd paid dearly to have carved out. All got overgrown very quickly.
Kay and I really enjoy a glass of champagne - with a little bit of Angostura Bitters shaken into the bottom of the glass before pouring the bubbly. The bitters add a touch of exotic depth to the champagne and, although it contains 11% alcohol, it doesn't seem to increase the potency of the drink. However, a post-breakfast nap was never out of the question!!
In the 25 years I spent in heterosexual marriages, I never experienced the total joy, spirituality and sense of peace I've had for the past 28 years with Kay. As partners in life, we've shared as many ups and downs as any other couple with two children - especially the two teenagers I introduced into Kay's life back in 1980. There were times I thought my sanity was in question but the steady rock that Kay provided for me, stood fast and somehow we survived with our spirits in tact.
There are so many labels for our relationship - domestic partnership and same-sex couple to name two. At the end of our Civil Union we were pronounced Partners in Life. And that's what we are.
