please allow me to (re)introduce myself

[ruby_my_dear]

Hello to you all.

It's been at least a year, maybe longer since I've been on here. I never posted very much even then but enjoyed this forum more than all the others because for some reason, those who congregate here are among the most intelligent, well spoken and respectful people on lit. It doesn't hurt that they know how to spell and punctuate properly too and in many cases understand the value of a good pun.

It's been a heck of a year and the person I want to introduce today,despite the hardships, or maybe because of them is much closer to the person she was meant to be.

The last 2 years of my life have gone something like this:

- after lots of therapy, soul searching and emotional growth I acknowledged to myself that things that turn me on may not be mainstream but they aren't a defect either.

- as a result of the same therapy, soul searching and emotional growth, I finally work up the courage to leave my 15 year marriage that really has not been good for me for the past 8.

- I meet the most wonderful person I could imagine and know happiness I did not know was possible. We declare our D/s relationship to our lifestyle friends.

-He is diagnosed with terminal cancer.

-We decide to enjoy everyone moment and live with no regrets because no matter how long or short our time together is, we both believe it was meant to happen.

So that's where I am right now. I've met people with lots of experience with BDSM who I really like and who have taught and are still teaching me many valuable things and just like happens with any group in the rest of the world, I've met a few that I find downright scary. I appreciate the first and steer clear of the second and I'm grateful that I learned enough online from this very forum to know the difference.

I am happy that the nice people I remember from this forum are still around and posting and I hope I can come back more often and enjoy the laughter, wisdom and thoughtful comments I found here before my long hiatus.

And DGE, you are absolutely right. CANCER SUCKS.

Yes Ruby, cancer does suck. I'm sorry to hear about that part of your post. But, I remember you and welcome you back to the forums. I hope we can tickle your laughter and spark your wisdom. Thoughtful comments take a bit longer.

Ruby I understand. I lost an old friend years ago. A Dominant named Shooter Eagle from Alaska. He was also a Korean War pilot under the same call sign as His Dom. name. A good man. His submissive came to Me for advice, afraid she might hurt Him. I told her to tell Shooter how best to serve Him. She, tho afraid, asked for His instruction. All I can say today is that she made Him the happiest Man ever. He later died of the cancer that racked His body. The D/s community in Alaska mourned at His passing. Theres an Ode written for Him to best remember who and what He was. A HERO.

Dearest ruby, you have been missed! I am sorry to hear you are struggling , but so inspired by the bravery in the love you have found and nourished. I deeply wish you both as many moments and comforts as life allows.

That said, Fuck You Cancer.

 

[IrisAlthea]

Yes, fuck cancer but good to see you here again.

I have lurked in these threads for a while, because I am truly curious about the lifestyle. I've never posted here, and I've never met you, but I felt compelled to say that what you've written is truly beautiful. I wish you the best in the time you have with your SO. Bless you both!

 

[ruby_my_dear]

Phew. I'm relieved at least a few people remember me That might have been a bit embarrasing

@ DVS I've already racked up a couple of chuckles and clearly I am patient enough to wait for the wisdom given that most times I am on here I end up at some point staring at your avatar waiting for it to do its thing. That never gets old.

@bluekitten Thanks for the kind words. I hope to see more of your pretty toes and get to know you.

@curious I missed you too. I'm so happy to see you are still active here.

@SirVPL It seems like your friend and my Daddy (also retired military) have more in common than just the cancer. It must have been an honour to know him.

@Iris Thanks for the welcome back. It is much appreciated.

 

[LittleSparks]

I'm new to the boards, but welcome back! You sound like you've been through quite a bit, so I hope the friends on here will do you some good

 

[Hitmyballsplz]

I'm sorry to hear what you are going through, but trust me there is worse...

The latter part of your comment seems pretty unhelpful to me.
