Mark

I never thought I'd find someone who actually gets me. Truly gets me. Then, I met Mark.

We met in a not so normal way, and I'll save the details, but let's just say that Barbra Streisand had a lot to do with it. It's so much more than that, though, that's the thing. It started with Barbra, but it doesn't end there. We have a much stronger connection, a connection that is sometimes hard to identify and explain. One of my favorite quotes is "A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one," and boy, does that ever ring true with us.

In the last year and a half, we've had so many great adventures together (New York City, Niagara Falls, his house for New Year's), had so many great conversations, made some wonderful memories, and the laughs have been endless. That year and a half has also been full of changes and realizations for the both of us, and we've really grown a lot together. I'm so lucky to have had such a great friend during that time to talk to, laugh with, cry with, and more importantly, to support me, and I'm sure he feels the same way. That's what best friends are for. And that's what he is to me.

I'm really looking forward to the next chapter in our lives. We're both taking a big leap, and I'm so glad we're doing it together.


"Wherever we go, whatever we do,
we're gonna go through it together.
We may not go far, but sure as a star,
wherever we are, it's together.

Wherever I go I know he goes.
Wherever I go I know she goes.
No fits, no fights, no feuds
and no egos, amigos, together!

Through thick and through thin,
all out or all in.
And whether it's win, place or show.
With you for me and me for you,
we'll muddle through whatever we do.
Together, wherever we go."
