It has been a crazy week, with Jayme moving in and vacation I have not gotten a chance to write about my love. Over that time I gained further reasoning and understanding to want to forge our lives into one.

The title might lead someone to think that Jayme saved my life. Perhaps I was drowning, or maybe in a deep depression, but neither of these are true. What Jayme did is provide me with a life full of life. Let me explain. See I had been making the motions, going to parties, seeing friends, doing the things I enjoy, and generally being a happy individual. I felt that I was fulfilled, that I had understood existence and done a good job at being Luke. But something happened when I spent my first day with Jayme. It was like finally seeing the depth of experience. She gave dimension to an otherwise linear life. It was more then a shift in thinking, it was a whole new world.

This weekend added to that world. She helped me define family for me, she helped and supported me in planning a weekend up with mom and my brothers, something we have not done in over 15 years. She is a sweet and tender woman who is always by my side, guiding me down the path to forever. I might be 6 years older then her, but she is light-years more advanced emotionally then I am.

So even though I lived before Jayme, now, I have the gift of life.  Deep, emotional, raw, open, tender, and purposeful life.
