LOVE STORIES




            To the kindness person I’ve
            ever known:

            Today (as everyday) I dedicate
            to the love of my life, bone of my
            bone and flesh of my flesh, my
            friend, my lover, my life … my
            wife!
            Charla, there is no one like you in
            all of creation. God looked inside
            my heart before I had a clue there
            was anyone like you and found my
            conception of perfection and then
            He created you – perfect for me in
            every way – the up to my down,
            the yin to my yang, the peanut
            butter to my jelly.
