Dear Colleen,
What you and Wesley had was so real. Real than any of the relationships that exist today. I am telling you Colleen, even in a culturally-rich country like India, couples today wouldn't be able to go through so many hardships for one another. One of them would eventually withdraw midway leaving the other one hanging. But Wesley was with you in your worst times and you with him.
You have come so long, and your journey was not easy, but now when I read your work and think of your poetries, it all makes sense to me.
Why your ideas and imaginations are so unique than ours. Because your life wasn't a usual one either. You have seen the dark side of it and now after decades what we are getting is the prism-like reflection of those rainbow colors.
You're such a beautiful soul. Nothing makes me emotional easily nowadays but your story touched me. I got chills in my spine every now and then when I think life is too hard for some of us.
But it's amazing how we come out of it and share our new-found light with strangers, enlightening their path further.
Sending you lots of love, hugs, positivity, and happiness.
Moon Light is so honored. :)
