Lesson Learned

It was fantastic to see Kaekae and the kids again. But before I could even kiss the twins enough to let them know how much I'd missed them, they ran into Sef's arms. Now, ya gotta know I love my former brother by law, but I've learned that not all children are like me and Inanna. We waited for Pop for hands, moons.. sometimes vars. No other Warrior came close to catching our attention when he was around. My lesson learned this time is that I'm not gonna be makin any babes who see me in the same light as I saw Pop.
It about broke my heart to see them run off to another man's lap, another man's arms. Good thing it was family. Makes me wonder how Kaeli feels with me gone so often and sometimes for a real long time. ::his ribcage heaves as he emits a very heavy sigh:: I've not lost my soul... so I count it a lesson learned.

My new children with a true Free Woman

Kaeli is incredible. I can't forget standing with our son in my hands, presenting him to the Sky as she snuggled our daughter to her breast. Son.. daughter...it gave me pause. I raised my other son until he was four. His mother had promised never to take him away from the People when I went on a journey through the Sardars, as my father had before me. It took time, but that son, Tetsuo, returned. He became a man of the People, a valuable Warrior. But a daughter.... that's a kaiila I've never broken. Our liddle Sheku could be my third daughter. My heart believes in miracles. I knew my faith was justified. The Sky gave me Kaeli, true heart, true Healer, true Woman of the People. Sheku... my Eternal Blue... our Sky child... I want so much for her. I want...like those words could make the Sky turn the wind my way. But still my mind and soul are filled with I WANT. For Kus, Second's milk name, and for Sheku, I want much. Kaeli's just the partner I want and need to make the miracles come to full fruit.
