As I read this. My heart knows the answer ,, Master never made it to his next birthday.He was a great man. I never realized the impact he had made in so many lives. I ask 1 thing from everyone. The flag does stand for something. Does not matter who you are. From blacks,,,,to whites,,,to subs,,, to Doms. We all have a say in life. I hope that everyone has and takes the opportunity to be who you are. I hid my submissiveness for years. Master made me realize I am true submissive. Also even though you are a submissive your not a doormat. I will never give up who i am for no one!!
