FINALLY!
Well, Chintu FINALLY made it home! Yesterday at about 5:55 p.m. I was standing with bated breath, waiting to see Chintu appear in the distance, beyond the security gate...and about 6:15 he finally made his grand entrance. There was no way I could control the smile that transformed my face when I saw him. He looked (as always) so handsome and, trying to control the school-girl feelings I was experiencing, I almost ran to meet him, handed him the single red rose I purchased at the airport for him, took him in my arms and we kissed. I didn't care who saw or who might have been offended, it had been one day short of five weeks since our lips had met and I had to experience that sweet sensation.
When we arrived home (thanks to a little help from a 'love angel') he walked into our home to be greeted by strains of Norah Jones' voice, a vase filled with a dozen red roses, a bottle of champagne in the ice bucket, smoking incense, 40 burning candles, and a crock pot with a nice beef roast smothered in potatoes, onions, and carrots.
Age 47, divorced, gay. I have a beautiful 22 year old daughter (a stylist in Weston, WV). I'm just discovering who I really am, rather, who I can be, (proof it's NEVER too late) My favorite quote: "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." (George Bernard Shaw) In June 2007, I graduated from Washington State Community College (yes, my first time as a college graduate) with an AAS in Social Service Technologies. I have worked at EVE, Inc., a domestic violence shelter, since that time. It's my privilege to serve on the committee for the Evergreen Arts & Humanities Series at Washington State. (See EVE & EAHS in links section.) Since February 2007, I've been blessed to share life with the most amazing, wonderful, kind, loving, and handsome man. After dating for a few months, we decided that we no longer wanted to live in separate places, so in August we moved into a house just outside Athens. One of our favorite things about it is the fact that there's a great vegetable garden space & room for lots of flowers. Chintu, 30, born in Kerala, India, has lived in Athens since 2004. A medical doctor in India, he is now pursuing a PhD in Neuroscience at OU.
