You just are. The Fates have chosen to bless you both, and as long as you go with whatever cosmic flow comes along, you bloom and grow without trying.

Some of us should take a lesson. Myself included.

You are quiet inspirations, proof that love and light truly can exist. You don't shy away from your sexuality, you embrace it, celebrate it, and shine through to those of us living in a monochrome world. You see people as people, not "fatties" or "sticks" or "bitches" or "hoes." You show us all that determination and patience, along with a gentle shove in the right direction, can do wonders.

Halcyon, you are an inspiration and though seldom do you realize it, without your presence in this industry, there are some people who wouldn't have taken that extra step. tASSy, your exeuberance and delightful spirit is also an inspiration, and not only to your Daddy.

May the Fates grant you many more joyful years, and may all your tears be those of joy.
