Growing Pains

anastasia,

I was so happy to hear you want me to be in control -- need me to be in control -- even when you are not particularly happy with the manner in which I exercise that power. I hate that I have these doubts, and I love that you can so easily remove them.

We both have issues that still make us uncomfortable. It may take some time, but I look forward to the day when we are completely at ease with all of this. In the meantime, we'll just have to suffer through some growing pains. You don't mind a little pain now, do you?

Frederick
