Yes, dreams do come true and here's mine ->

Throughout my life I never thought I'd find the perfect woman for me. Well, on Sept 27, 1991, I did. My Mom loved her as well as the rest of my family. I only dreamed of finding 'her', marrying her and having our honeymoon at my favorite place - the Catskills. Well they all came true. We said our first vows on May 8, 1993 here In Flar-dee-DUH but, of course, we weren't 'legally' married. So we did research and found a woman in Canada who helped us arrange a full-fledged marriage. My sister and her husband graciously agreed that our honeymoon would take place at their farm - which I felt was "home". So on May 8, 2004 we were "legally" married in Ottawa, Ontario. The next day we drove back to the farm and had the very best honeymoon I could ever imagine with our loving family.

Here we are, twenty-three years after falling in love with my dream gal, the state we live in will recognize our marriage at 1 minute after midnight tonight. Dreams DO come true!! Last year was a totally horrific year for me but hopefully this new year will be much better.

Billie Garcia and I want to thank all involved in making this happen.

vows 'lightly' have no clue how important this is for us. As a youngster I marched for equality, was bullied and beaten but stood my ground on the long, hard road to equality. Now that I'm an older gal I can only do my 'work' here on the net. LOL

Still, much continues.

Most of us do what we can, even if it's just posting here to inspire, support and comfort those more capable.

It's all good, my Sister.
