Saloman: We met when you were 21 in San Francisco, over Thanksgiving week when you were staying in the rooftop penthouse for the holidays. In retrospect, I did not realize the depth of betrayal you endured at the hands of a scum of the earth poker faced con artist who took advantage of your youth like a disgusting predatory p********. He, like a criminal destroyed your trust in the worst possible way. After spending time with your family I made a call to my Uncle, now retired, who had married into the mafia before I was born. His wife’s father was the Godfather of the South when I was growing up. When he died, his brother, a man I never met took over and we (our family) are hands off, hands clean, free from the business but it does not mean we cannot call in favors now and then. Women and children aren’t in the business because Italians put family and legacy first before money. Knowing I rarely ask for anything, he handled the situation with a white glove. You my friend, have had a front row seat to fate or consistent bad luck through the years of his life set in motion without brakes twenty years ago for the crime of injustice he committed when he betrayes your precious heart. From the moment we met; when I discovered what happened, when you thought you were alone, without a soul you could trust, it was me and my family looking out for you, protecting you through the years. Rectifying a disrespectful situation towards you and your family to bring justice. The one who disregarded the value of trust did not consider their are the laws of the heat and the laws of the street created to establish balance. I always have had your back girl, like a unicorn has his magical horn and an angel has their wings for twenty years. What kind of friend would I be if I failed to be honest with you mi amor? It is not out of ill intent, spite or meanness that I tell you the truth (that sometimes may sting) but that due to your negative past experiences regarding mistrust of others requires nothing less of me than radical honesty to safeguard and maintain your trust, much like an advisor to a Queen. Although you may not have a literal crown, your soul is valuable to God like Royalty and Precious to me like Jonathan’s friendship with King David. Perhaps that is us reincarnated because although you have never asked for my loyalty or protection I felt compelled by the Holy Spirit to provide you such love and devotion without question. Loving you, in the sweetest way and the desire to protect your heart comes naturally to me but in truth I treat my closest friends the same as you. It is why, after twenty years of loyalty to protecting your heart that I, at your request and choosing, relinquished my station to your current companion. Walking away was not out of abandonment but out of love for you, and respect for your freedom of choice, to love you in fullness of heart to only wish for nothing more than your happiness and joy, even if you do not choose me. I hope in your heart you understand that laying down my sword on behalf of your honor at this point in time does not mean that we did not ensure the one who betrayed your sweet heart has not or will not pay the karmic price of his fate or what was unjustly done to you or for how you were mitreated. Some knights come in armor, some come with weapons of war and some come as gentlewomen due to a strange twist of fate when a Texan collides with a California girl unexpectedly. God always has a plan, and the Yellow Roses of Texas heed the spiritual call in service of Love. We bring Hope to the Hurting Hearts of the world. Near or far, no matter what life brings, in spite of current world events, I hope you know that to bring healing to your most wounded parts, you are worthy of real love that keeps you safe from harm and have always been genuinely loved by me my friend. The pandemic has kept us apart but in my mind I carry your heart with me, and pray for the well being, good health, protection and provision of you and your family always, especially during these unprecedented times. It has been an honor to know you and I pray you have nothing but the best in life and love. Hopefully I will be able to hug you again one day soon. Just know until then I am hugging you in my heart across the distance. God bless you, my friend for life. 🦋
