Tigger.....

What to say, what to say? You've helped me out so much these last couple of months. I don't think you realize how much. I know that nobody else knows. I just kind of fell to pieces last month, Tigger baby. And you swept the pieces up and, ever so patiently, helped me put myself back together. You are so impatient about many things that I don't think you understand how very patient you are about the things that are important. Really, there are very few people that could have put up with me this last month or so. *laughs softly* You'd get me almost put back together and something else would happen and there I'd be.....a pile of Erin pieces again. I raged and cried and screamed and went slightly insane and you held me through it all. You'll never know how much you mean to me. I'll never be able to express, clearly enough, how dear you are to me.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Thank you. Thank you for your love and your patience and your sweetness and unwavering willingness to take my pain into yourself, to hurt with me, to let me rage at you until I was worn out enough to go on. Thank you for taking care of me, Tigger. You're a good man and I love you so very much. I know we just kind of fell against each other by accidental circumstances, but I think, in the end, I'm happy for those circumstances. As the saying goes, Not one door closes but another one opens. And if that door had to close, then I am so very happy that I found you waiting behind the next door that opened. It's been odd and confusing and frustrating, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I will always be your "Beautiful Orchid"

I love you.
