It's been a whirlwind past 3 years for me.

No, not even a whirlwind it's honestly been 3 years of near unrelenting hell, ranging from personal and relational ones, to professional turmoil and conflict, major physical injuries and surgeries, managing the health and safety of several thousand people I'm responsible for, and in August, the death of my father, with whom I was really developing a great relationship with in the last five or ten years.

All of this punctuated by long periods of relentless solitude, the kind of gnawing loneliness whose silence ate at my soul.

Then last year, upon moving to my new assignment and my current responsibilities, I found her.

A Lady that share my values, that has many goals and ambitions that if they are not similar to mine, are parallel to them, who is driven and determined, smart, interesting, and constantly fun to be around. A beautiful lady who not only stimulates the mind of those who interact with her, but is tender and loving, someone I love to hold and just enjoy those moments of quiet, when all the communication that needs to be done is one heartbeat to another. Someone, who at great personal expense, was there for me in perhaps was the greatest moment of need I had.

You'll forgive me for gushing a bit, but in the past year I've had with her, even in the most difficult times I could find, I could find great comfort in her her arms, and she has helped me weather things I'm just not sure how I'd be through without her.

And I do hope, at least in some small way, I've been able to do the same for her (and if not yet, I am ready to do just that!).

This commission was done by the wonderful  honovy , who kindly accepted to take the commission to follow up on "Alone", for I am alone no more, as I now find myself constantly in the loving arms of my fiance, Alora.
