Ok, the truth is, I never really stopped loving him\u00a0and I have spent a fair bit of time this week remembering him, missing him, and wishing I had had one last chance to hug him and tell him what a special person he is, and what a wonderful part of my life he was and how fondly I will always look back on the years we spent together.\u00a0And I would so just want to thank him for\u00a0the gift he was to my life.\u00a0 Nelson\u00a0touched me in ways no one ever had before and I loved him deeper than anyone I had ever been with. And when he left, he\u00a0helped me learn that I was far stronger and more capable than I ever would have believed so even in his absence he helped me grow as a person.<\/p>\n<p>He was an amazing man on so many levels and part of me still cannot believe he is gone. But, I am truly grateful that he is no longer suffering. I&#8217;d never want to see him hurt, unless I was intentionally and consensually doing it that is.\u00a0\ud83d\ude09\u00a0Farewell sweetheart.. and rest in peace.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 5px; vertical-align: middle; border: black 5px solid;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogpics\/Nelson.jpg?resize=487%2C265\" alt=\"\" width=\"487\" height=\"265\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been a bit numb off and on for the past week or so\u00a0since being told that my former&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/?p=2476\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Goodbye Nelson &#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2476\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
