I received this, and have been deeply moved by it, My comments follow.

My Dearest Mentor,

I was thinking of You today, while speaking with my sissykins, Your girl, and thought perhaps a note of gratitude was long past due.  In light of recent events, I have come to realize that my happiness was catapulted because of Your words and actions.  You are a humble Man, far more great than any I have met, save perhaps One.  It was because of You i did not give up on following my heart's calling when things went horribly wrong just before I really got to know You.  I wish I would have met You first, for I know You would have kept me safe from a wanna be Dom that used my niavitivity to his advantage.  Still You have saved me more than once.  You found this lost and broken shell of a woman and pieced her back together fraction by fraction, I still don't know how You found that much superglue.  You were there on the worst night of my life, and I know the only reason I called is because, even when my mind was clouded with whatever drug, I needed to hear Your voice to know I was okay.  And Your supoprt kept me from falling apart in the days and weeks that followed.  You built me up from ashes, giving me the strength from Your experience, the wisdom to not repeat the mistakes I made, and the knowledge to carry on, making my journey a much safer and more fulfilling path.  Words cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for You always being here for me, always taking the time to fully and completely explain things to me, and for asking me the difficult questions, patiently waiting for my answers.  You introduced me to things I had only dreamed of, with patience and kindness, letting this sometimes overcurious, impatient subbie explore at her pace.  As I begin this new journey, I know that You will be here for me and that makes it a little easier and a lot less scarey.  I cannot imagine my life without You or Your girl in it, You're my safety net and sometimes even my rock. So Thank You so much for all You have done, all You continue to do, all You have been, and all You continue to be.  I hope I have made You proud and continue to do so.  You and Yours are my family and forever will be.  I love You both so much and a million thank Yous could not begin to cover it. 

Thank You,

Your impish little mentee

*smiles softly* I am honored, and priviledged beyond words. you became a student shortly after I arrived here in CM, and have studied well ever since. Not every lesson came easy, yet the progress you have made astounds Me. I remember even the tiniest bumps along the way, and yes, I remember that night, all too well. By the way, you give Me too much credit, you have done the work, I merely provided the guideposts, to show you the way. Between you, and your sis, I am most blessed. No Dominant deserves to be surrounded by such fine girls, certainly not Me. I count the two of you as My great blessings. you are and always will be a part of My fold, My student extraodinaire, northernrose, and your sissykins, My girl, Histexasrose.

you are most welcome,

your proud Mentor

"i am sending this to You to let You know how i truely feel about You.....

You are the reason my sun comes up in the morning. You are the reason that the stars shine at night.

Because of You my heartbeats each and everyday. You are the breath that i breathe each passing day.

You have shown me what it is to really love someone and that its ok to let that person inside of my heart.

Without You i am nothing. With You i am whole and complete once again. You are my world it is You that have put the smile on my face that everyone sees. But if You take those away i will become empty and incomplete once again.

i say this with everything in me and i mean these words from the bottom of my heart and soul. i Love You m'Lord and i am finally with the One that i truely belong to.

You are not only my Master You are my Daddy my lover and my best friend. Please know these words come from deep inside of me and i mean them each and everyone of them."

I wish to say thank you, "My"texasrose, you are Mine.

Pitcher of Love
