I just read some of the comments on your blog. That's got to be some great therapy, and it should help to confirm that you are on the right track. There is something about the way you write that is sincere. People can often tell if it's being phoned in. That's where I think your best talent is. Your ability to communicate your obvious passion for the subject matter.

Thanks. That really means a lot to me. I really needed to hear that tonight. Your talents were definitely appreciated by me and all who commented. I hope you have a happy new year!
I was lying on my couch around 11 pm on New Year's Eve last year getting ready to watch the ball drop on TV when I received a message. When I heard the beep on my phone, I remember thinking, "I wish that would be from Jerry." For some reason, he had been on my mind all day. We had done a few photo shoots together but hadn't really talked that much. There was no reason in the world why I should receive a message from him, but still, I found myself hoping. I was very unhappy at this time in my life and the photo shoots with him were rare bright spots in my dark world. When I picked up my phone and saw his message, my heart skipped a beat. His words were the few kind ones I had heard in a really long time, and they touched me. I could have never known that night that my New Year's Eve would be so very different a year later because of him.
On Saturday night, Jerry and I went out to the fanciest restaurant in town and had a delicious 4 course meal. Oh yes, it was very fancy, "dahlings!" I saw several local doctors there and even the former mayor. I know, it's Kinston so that isn't saying much, but it sure beat sitting on my couch. My favorite part of the meal: dessert. It was some kind of chocolate and pretzel flavored cake topped with ice cream, and let me tell you, it was a taste explosion. I've never had anything with such a rich flavor in my life. Man, it was good!
After dinner, we made our way to the big party room upstairs to bring in the new year with a fireworks display and live piano music. While we waited for the countdown, we had fun taking pictures. We even managed to get one of the two of us by placing the camera on a table and using the delay feature. Thank God we managed to get a better picture of the two of us than that mall glamour shot from the company Christmas party. Poor Jerry looks like a deer in headlights in that picture. Every time we look at it, we joke around that I keep him chained up to some pipes in the basement.
I'm so very thankful Jerry came into my life this past year. Of course, I wish it had been under better circumstances, but I believe it happened the way it did for a reason. He has enriched not only my life, but my kids lives in so many ways. I've never been happier. It's not always cupcakes and rainbows, but when it's good, it's really good. No matter what the future brings, I don't doubt any of the difficult decisions I've made over this last year. I know in my heart that I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be. As the clock hit midnight and the fireworks flashed outside the window, Jerry and I shared a magical New Year's kiss. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful night, and the perfect start to a new year.
