Even More Amore ~ Early Morning Thoughts

I've been reading and following Two Lucky People for some time. Yen and Jesse are two amazing people deeply in love. Jesse has an aggressive form of Melanoma. While this kind of illness could tear many couples apart ... they seem to be stronger than when I first met them through Yen's writing.

Here's some of what I've written -

Two People In Love ~ True Love

Further News About Jesse ~

Encouraging Valentine's News ~

A Welcome Bit Of News - Yen, Jesse ~

A Love With So Much More ~


Emotional Bill Of Rights ~

"I'm so happy to be with you." ~

Over and over, I've commented on the depth of their love and the strength that flows in their commitment to each other and to the life they are living.
Almost all the postings have been by Yen, but late in February Jesse treated us with a post of his own. The wonderful statement at the end was simple but with amazing depth. Jesse wrote: "He’s such an amazing person that I wish everyone of you could meet him in person. I’m so proud to have him as my boyfriend."

On the 26th we were again treated to a second post from Jesse. From his hysterically funny description of trash TV ("...trannies tear at each others’ wigs on Jerry Springer"), the forty-five minuted trek to the hospital, ending with his description of what it feels like when he finally makes it home ("By the time I make it to the door, I feel like I’ve been beaten half-dead by a very heavy stick.")When he does make it home, he's met with an outward expression of an inward choice Yen has made to be in love.
While I’ve been gone, Yen’s been busy transforming the apartment into a five-star resort.

When I step into the room, I smell faint jasmine. Incense is burning on the window-sill. I hear calm, musical voices in the background. There are fresh rainbow-colored tulips on the coffee table. A plate of cool celery and keen carrots.
What? A tall, icy drink of pina colada? (Virgin, my Yenny smiles.)

What Yen does to this place sets my soul at ease. I am now ready to take a nice, long afternoon nap. This apartment, this home, it’s my castle of comfort, my paradise.
As I said in an earlier post (and with what's been going on my life recently, I believe it even more): "I do not care if someone is gay-straight, black-white, moon-man or whatever, this kind of love is so deep and powerful, I maintain that great portions of the universe bow in honor of its strength."

And once again, I maintain they are living the vow/promise of ... "for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness AND in health..."

It was wonderful to read the post from Jesse - and it reaffirmed what I believed - together they are a potent force - for healing, togetherness and love.


And as I climb into bed this morning, I once again will say to the listening universe, "I want a love that will be like that - the kind that Jesse and Yen share. The choice that no matter what, I will love and care." I'll say it quietly, but I have no doubt it will be heard...

You've written a beautiful tribute to love. I agree, love like that is pure and true. I hope that you find it in your life.

Thank you Laurie - and even if I don't find such love ~ having seen it in action with Jesse and Yen will be a precious memory.
