Happy Anniversary....Sharing a Life for Four Years

Happy Anniversary, my Master! For four years i have had the absolute honor of being Your slave, of wearing Your collar, and of being bound to You with bonds far stronger than leather. i am the luckiest, most blessed woman on earth.

i got an e-card from Padrone today. It's far more rare than it used to be for me to get one, but the reasons for that are many and i understand every one of them. It was so incredibly special to wake up to a card from my Owner, telling me Happy Anniversary!

But it was His comment within the card that made me almost cry, as it echoes so clearly what i have been thinking lately. Four years ago our lives changed.

At the time, of course, we had no clue to the extent they would change. Who can know things like that at the beginning of a relationship.

But i can say, and i will say, that i get just as much a "thrill" from wearing His collar today as i did then, if not more of one. Today i am equally as proud to belong to Him, to show off His ownership of me, to revel in the knowledge that we were made for each other as i ever was. It is equal in depth, in strength, yet so much more clearly understood.

There is no way to really show the emotions that fill me to overflowing, but i try so hard....i have always strived to let Padrone know how deeply grateful i am to belong to Him, and why. That requires letting down walls and revealing emotions not seen by anyone else....not the showing of the gratitude, but usually the telling of the why.

For four years i have felt a deep, abiding gratitude for this man's collar, his ownership of me. It has grown, deepened, strengthened, expanded, and become more tender as time has passed, but the character of it, or Him, has never changed. i have changed dramatically, but for the good. We make each other better people, simply because of who we are and the relationship we share.

i could go into so many reasons why this is so, and knowing me, i probably will soon. But for now, i hope to simply bask in the knowledge that we are still together, i am still so lucky to belong to this wonderful man, after four years of wearing his collar. i am so deeply honored to belong to such a wonderful man, someone who has shown me what it truly means to live a life of submission in my slavery.

i love You, Padrone. And i am Yours, forever...Your devoted, adoring, grateful slave.
