My wife ( Star ) as you know her, has put up with my cranky rear for a year now. I wanted to use this space to let her know how much I appreciate her, as we are both members here she should stumble across this thread. If it needs to be deleted, so be it, butI just want to let her know how much she means to me. If anyone feels they have something to add to this thread by all means please do. Alot of you know the two of us together and as individuals, so your input will always be welcome.

Now, pardon me while I wax eloquent :

Lenyce, There is no reason in the world I deserve to be with you, but I am so grateful I am. We've been through more than anyone else in the world can imagine and we've stuck together side by side, through thick and thin, through the fires of HELL literally and come out together. You are all that I need, all that Iwant, and all I ever care to have. I could quote a thousand sappy songs, but that's not my nature. At times it may not seem it but I have so much to give to you in my heart, body and soul.

In closing I guess I'll quote a band who you are familiar with:

" I am the way, I am the light, I am the dark inside the night, I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams, And in the dark I hear your screams, Don't turn away, Just take my hand, And when you make your final stand, I'll be right there, I'll never leave , All I ask of you is believe. "

Some rocks are fragile, but I promise to be your rock of Gibraltar. Whether it be shale or granite, I'll be your rock my dear.
