Before coming out of Indiana I knew absolutely nothing about gay life or relationships. I remembered hearing how gay people were incapable of commitment and incapable of being with one person. And I remember thinking “Am I incapable of that? Because that’s what I really want.”

Never let others define your capabilities…

Goes to show you what “homophobes”, racist, people who have blinders on and uneducated people know about people who are different than them…..and some people you can’t change their minds or reason with them for anything…..speaking from experience. You and Jeff are proof they are wrong. Love you!! XOXO

Well said! And commitment not only to partner but to goals, careers, beliefs and friends, among others.

Donna- Everything we hope for deserves a commitment. MaMaw taught me that. I’ve never forgotten.
Thank you so much for your wonderful reading and support for Farm Stories. It means so much to me!!!

Eddie, this picture was used for your wedding invitation? Another reason why I love you and all that you bring to the world. You remind us through your stories and through your pictures that commitment comes in all forms, shapes, colours and attitudes. It’s about what we want and not about what others think we should be.

Nathan and I will be together 12 years in August. We lead by example and now teach our nephews Zaran & Savan that we are a family, that we are committed to each other and give them a shining example of what LOVE looks like.

Thank you for finding the love of your life and showing the world that YES we are capable!

    Bruce- Yes, this photo was attached to the card. On your next visit I’ll show you. I remember the day we took it, Alex sitting so proudly and divinely on that sofa. Commitment, at least in my mind, is essential to a life filled limitless love not only for others but ourselves.

    So happy for you and Nathan. Nothing illustrates the value of committed love than seeing it in day to day life; Zaran and Savan will put that knowledge to good use in years to come.

    Thank you always for your voice and support.

    xoxo
