I miss my SO's alters. So many have integrated. She's down to just three. This is a good thing as I know she has healed so much over the years, but I do miss most of them.
I miss Violet and how she nibbled on me. I miss Genesis and how she called me Dearling. I miss Scout and his lovable playfulness. I miss Sneaker and how giggly she was. I even miss Snow, though she wasn't exactly the life of the party.
In a way, I've had to grieve their loss and I suppose I still am. The loss of Genesis has hit me especially hard. She was funny, flirty, and razor sharp. As a protector, she was like a mother to the others. Having her trust meant the world to me and I spent more than a few nights enjoying her conversation. God do I miss her. I wish she could see the man I've become. I wish she could see how happy I make her daughters now. I wish she could be there for the wedding.
All I can do is honor her memory by loving her daughters as much as I possibly can.
