I believe in enjoying life; I believe in love; I believe in telling those close to you how you feel; I believe that through expressing your care, your love, for another that you gain so much back in return; I believe in giving gifts and seeing smiles on the faces of those you care about; I believe that loving is the best calorie burner; I believe in kissing; I believe in telling my wife each and every day how much I love her and how much she is appreciated – and how beautiful she is; I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls; I believe that tomorrow is another day … Perhaps most of all - I believe in miracles.” I've learned the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul; That love doesn't mean leaning, and company doesn't mean security - that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises; I needed to build my path based on the day at hand, because tomorrow's ground was too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of failing mid-flight or changing so much when it is least expected. I also learned that even sunshine burns if I got too much... so I planted my own garden and decorated my own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring me flowers. Perhaps most importantly, I learned that I really could endure ... that I was and am strong ... and with every good-bye, I learned.... In the end, it is not the years in your life that count … It is the life in your years.
