4 years ago I read the best sapphic romance I’d ever encountered and wanted to know the author. We became friends but I’m so grateful it was destined to become more because now she’s my wife.

On March 29th, I got to marry the love of my life. The next day, we drove from MA to PA to be with my mother when she was placed on hospice, before passing away this past Wednesday. Life has been complicated, but I am so grateful for my wife and the last days I had with my mom.

Not saying I’m *too* thirsty for queer camaraderie but I did see two women who gave off distinct ~vibes~ walking with a dog tonight and asked them if they wanted to be friends. (They are a married couple and said yes they want to be my friend and we exchanged numbers).
