Melanie, I've had; THE TIME OF MY LIFE!!!

Well, here we are!! I thought that it would be nice for you guys at home to see the girl who has helped me through some of the toughest times of my life!! You are looking at a VERY amazing woman!!

Her beauty is surpassed only by her warmth, kindness, generosity, and sincerity.

I suffered a severe spinal injury, almost 21 months ago, chasing a prowler away from the home of my elderly grandfather. The operation that was supposed to cure me, made me much, much worse.

But I bet you can't guess who was beside me the whole way!! (ok, that was an easy one)

Yep, my lovely wife. She has put her life on hold, to be a support and strength to me. And she does SUCH a wonderful job!!! There just aren't enough words to describe what I am feeling, as I sit here, and author the words to this page, ( and big ole' crocodile tears, running down my cheeks!! )

Melanie, I just want you to know that I love and appreciate all that you do for me. It is hard sometimes, I know that. Thank you for your quiet comfort and understanding, when the pain is more than I can bear!!
Thank you for being there for me. And never giving up on our dreams, because I surely haven't!!! I don't care what happens, I'm not gonna give up till they put me in the ground!!

You know what? I can't think of any place that I would rather be, than beside you, for the rest of my life!!!!
