Today, Sunday, June 29, 2015, is the Pride parade in Seattle.
Because of my health, i didn't go. i'm heartbroken because i would have enjoyed walking down the streets of Seattle with pride, holding the hand of my husband. Devon went to the parade and marched with friends of his.
This year had special meaning as the United States supreme court ruled on Friday that ALL Americans deserve the right to be married, so it is legal in all 50 states.
We did go out Saturday night to the Capitol Hill pride, having dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Pinot Bistro. Across the closed street was a stage, so we thought there would be entertainment, but the entire time it was only a man dressed as a wizard talking to the crowd that passes by.
It seemed different this year, as most of the booths were just something you would find at any neighborhood festival.
It was a hot summer night, so we started walking to a special Starbucks, but i struggled and needed to take several stops to allow my failing heart to catch up. Along the way, we stopped at the boutique, Pretty Parlor, where Devon has sold a couple of items, so i could rest and so we could visit our friends Anna (the human owner), Vincent (the cat)and Lucy (the doggie).
After our brief stay at the Starbucks, we waited for the bus to go home, but i started feeling dizzy so Devon hailed a cab to take us home.
i hate feeling like this, as my heart grows weaker. Simple daily task are now an effort. If i survive to Pride 2016, i want to be able to be there, celebrating my faithful love with my husband.
