Thank you to all who have been so very generous to me. It's hard to ask for help, much more natural to help others.

I've uploaded several pictures of Al, my partner of 12 years who I lost in July of 2011. I miss him every day, he was an amazing intelligent person with many talents and a sense of humor that kept him in the company of many. Those who knew and worked with him enjoyed his company and looked up to his quiet expertise, whatever the task.

I've been told there are those who don't believe my story. It's understandable there would be an amount of skepticism. What happened is something I wouldn't want to happen to anyone else. To that end, if there is any question, anything you may be curious about, please just leave a comment and I'll be happy to answer you.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. Please make sure you let those in your life know how much you love them, hold them close, and enjoy your time together.
