He’s not my anchor..

Kevin Tyndall

I used to say that he was my anchor, he kept me grounded and out of trouble. But over the last few weeks I have come to realize he’s not my anchor at all, he does not keep me tied down. The last 2.5 weeks have been the most difficult in my life and I have come to realize he is my lighthouse. Always standing tall, shining his bright light so I can find my way home. Sometimes no matter how much he wants to be at my side or keep me safe at port, there are some storms I have to sail and navigate myself. But I know that he is always there to help me find my way back and that is what gives me the strength to keep going. It’s not always that I want to be in the storm by myself but I don’t know how I need help. When everything breaks at once, how do you know what to fix first? How do you prioritize between your heart and your head? He doesn’t care that it takes everything I have just to keep the half ass repairs in place until I make it home. He’s knows that as long as he can light my path I’ll make it back and I’ll be safe. I’ll probably fall apart as soon as I get to the shore but anything can be fixed in his light and he never cares how broken I return because he knows I’ll just become stronger when I put myself back together. He knows he can’t control the seas and he can’t stop me from sailing them but he can make sure I have a way to find my way back. As long as I know he will always be there I know I am safe. His eyes may always be on me but his light shines so bright he helps others find their way home too. I love this man fiercely with every fiber of my being and I know how incredibly lucky we are to have the Taurus/Virgo connection we have. Just as he is an amazing partner, he is just of an amazing father. Ben is so lucky to have his footsteps to guide him through life and his bright light to help him find his way home through life’s storms. I do think it might be a little intimidating since he set the Beard bar so high, but Ben is a Leo and always up for a challenge. So cheers to this Beaded Beacon of love and support. We love you beyond words and appreciate you for all that you are.
