A New Chapter

General
It really has been an amazing 5+ years, but as they say "All good things come to an end". For those that don't already know, JD and I are no longer together. It was a mutual decision we came to after much discussion and it wasn't a decision we took lightly.
He's an amazing person and deserves to be happy with Skroy. I've given them my blessing and wish them both well in everything. As I've told JD, it's important to me that he's happy, because I still really care about him. If he is happy then I know I can be happy for him too.
Still, this hasn't been the easiest situation to deal with emotionally. I mean, who could ever deal with this in any easy way anyway? But I have hope for the future that things will work out ok.
I've had friends come to me and offer their support and for each of you that have, I am ever so grateful to you for being there. I'm probably gonna need a bit of that in the near future :)
On our last anniversary JD had given me a very special gift. As he stated on his LJ:
My original gift idea was one I'd had for a while, since our first anniversary, actually. I'd had this little 5x7 sketchbook with about 25-ish pages in it, and I'd filled it in with sketches of memories throughout the years. My original intent was to have fully colored pictures on each of the pages, along with notes to tell a story with each picture. Though it was unfinished in my eyes, many encouraged me to give the gift anyway - and as everyone had told me would happen, Jimmy loved the gift when I gave it to him during our celebratory dinner
It was the sweetest gift I had ever gotten and felt like I wanted to make something in return. So during during JD's week long work trip to Chicago, I was at home feverishly working on a video I wanted to put together for him as a birthday present as well as to commemorate all the wonderful memories we've had together before separating. I put together a mix of pictures and video matched to Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You". It was actually my first time really putting together a video like that and I'm really happy how it came out - not to mention the mix of emotions I had putting all that footage together.
It was really a moment we shared when I finally showed him in person. I wanted him to know that I would never forget him or the memories we shared. He'll always have a place in my heart. Love ya, pup <3

You know how to get a hold of me if anything ever comes up.
Best of luck to ya, dude. :)
I'm glad everything was mutual, and you can both be happy.
I hope for the best for you, Jimmy
I'll be at RMFC and MFF next :)
Like you both stated, things are going to be hard to get used to for a while, and I'll help you two out as much as I'm able to. You're both amazing guys and I love ya both. We're all in this together, regardless of status..
No matter what happens we're still buddies, got it wuff? =3 *hugs tight*
You have my Yahoo if you ever want a talk, sweetie. You know we're always friends.
if you ever wanna chat, you can find me on Yahoo.
All my relationships I ever had, someone in the end got hurt. Then after that we learn to forgive and forget. Unfortunately, that's not always the case.
I don't know any of you, but it's not see that all of you have the courage to move on to your new lives.
Good luck to you, strangers.
If you ever need anything, any of you, you are welcome to talk to me about it. I wish all of you the best, and I hope the path to new adventures brings you all many new, wonderful experiences. :)
Thanks for being supportive and just being awesome overall. I appreciate it a lot. I need to give you a pouncing at FF when I finally see ya again ^^
PS: if you are moving or anything like that I could offer my help if you need.
I will share with you I was in a bit of a shock when I had first been told about this. I have known both you and JD for several years now, and I find you both to be real "class acts" in this Community. Like Heffboom stated, it is very agreeable to see two folks that are so well known in this Community, handle such a delicate issue with the amount of class and tact that you both have.
You have my immense respect, as you always have, and if there is ever anything that I can do for you, you know how to contact me buddy!
*hugs tightly*
All the best,
Rukario
Take care and see you soon
you have always been nice to me now i can return that some
But it's good that the break is a mutual agreement and that you are still in good terms and all,
and by doing so it only shows even more how great you both are as individuals. :)
I wish you both and skroy the best, and if you need anything or that I can help somehow don't hesitate to let me know.
*big hugs*
Anyway, feel free to talk to me if I'm around, big guy. I don't think you need a shoulder to cry on or anything, but I'm at least a good listener. :3
Life is never easy and sadly we always have to give something up, even if it's the one we cherish the most. v.v
Hopefully you guys will stay best friends?
