That is really funny when you think about it; forbidden fruit, fruit is what we would probably be called if folks knew the depth of our relationship. What do my relatives think about us? I m not exactly sure of that, but no one points fingers at us, that I know for sure anyway. Although we live a good ways out of town and away from most everyone, I believe they just assume that we are the best of friends, who chose to make our livelihood making handcrafted goods that we sell to the tourist every summer. I don t think they even realize that we both hold down part time jobs to make ends meet. I love you he whispers almost unheard, and I answer ditto. Satisfied he falls asleep on top of me and I guess I dozed off for that s all I can remember of last night. Last night was our fifteenth anniversary and I could ask for no greater gift than what he bestowed upon me. His pure and incomparable love for me. November 23rd, 1978, Miami Florida Eddie passed this morning and I can not believe that I am left all alone. I thought for sure that I would be the one to go first, but fate can sometimes be a cruel and vicious thing. I was planning a big surprise for our twentyfifth anniversary, but I guess I will just have to put it off until we meet again. No, I have not become overly religious in my older days; never have I believed in all that rigmarole and I don t think that I ever will. Things have changed a lot in the past twenty years, our love somehow doesn t seem to be so unspeakable now as it once was, and there is talk of equal rights for everyone.

Still it has been nice living down here in a big city, where it never seems to get to cold. Eddie is the one who wanted to move south and get off our mountain. Said the cold weather was getting too much for him to handle. I didn t realize it at the time, because he never complained, but he had a terrible case of arthritis. Well we moved, over my objections I must admit. To tell the truth, I had seen pictures of South Beach and all the beautiful bronzed boys jumping around in their skivvies. I was afraid of losing Eddie to someone else, and I should never have worried about that. As far as I know, he never lusted after anyone else for all these years, he just kept claiming that he had already gotten the best life had to offer, me. Sometimes now I question his sanity, I can never think of myself as the best of anything, but then again one can only be what someone else believes they are. I am not sure how long I can stay here, the memories of my dear loved one are too hard to live with. No matter where I go or what I do, I see him there smiling silently in his way, his eyes telling me just how much I have been loved. How much I am loved. December 1st, 2007, New Orleans The dream was the same last night. I can feel his arms wrapped around me tightly, securely, as if he were protecting me from some unseen harmful entity. I felt secure, warm and safe on this cold December night... That was the last entry. That and nothing more. I think, no I know that as he passed to join his Eddie that he was perhaps the happiest mortal ever. So to him I will sing ONE LAST SONG this Holiday season and wish that all of you can feel the happiness of those who have passed into the great beyond.
