When I was a 20 year old who was being abused by a female in my unit I ran naked through the enlisted upper ranks housing unit to where my sergeant / friend’s room. He opened the door to see me nude carrying my clothing crying my eyes out. Long story short as I have told it on this blog before he took care of everything. The abusive woman left the unit and I became his boyfriend. He protected me from other abusers. But he also did something I never had before, he educated me. He took me to museums and to places of historical interest. He taught me to try new foods and things I never knew / seen / experienced before. In the years we were together I saw a totally different life and I loved every minute of it. He taught me to drive a motorcycle and to feel loved. Sadly he loved me, but I did not feel that same affection for him. Once Ron came into my life he quietly back out of it realizing what he wanted couldn’t happen. But I do miss him and I appreciate what he did for young me. Hugs

Leonard Nimoy said, “A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.” It is good to ruminate on good times. You deserved to receive that education and affection, Scottie. You still do deserve it, and get it from Ron.

Scottie, that is a gentle careful man you found. No regrets, and no bad memories. Not everyone is so lucky.
