I don’t have many pictures of Carlton and me together. This is one of my favorites.
Carlton insisted that Dec 30 was our “real” anniversary. He didn’t really do Christmas, Valentine’s, Birthdays, But, I guess it was because of AA, he did remember anniversaries. It has been 41 years. Pretty damn good years too.
Gratitude
For all those good years with Mr. C and the last 5 years as well, without Carlton in person but surely still in my life and heart.
You know what? I made Carlton’s life way more interesting. He had a very limited comfort zone and I kicked his butt right out of it. Bigtime. And, he provided me with a degree of safety and security that I would never have provided for myself. That comfort zone of his, which I did have to honor to a degree, established limits for me. We were a good team. Still are.
