There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
-- Washington Irving (1783-1859) American Writer
To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.
-- William Hazlitt (1778-1830) English Essayist
Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It's the sure footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life.
-- Ann Landers, born 1918
No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.
-- Mother Teresa (1910-1997) Albanian Missionary
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
-- A.W. Pinero
My first child was born on March 29th 2005, and in follow up to the blog I made for my wife I am continuing to chronicle our lives. Not because I think anyone is interested, but because I need to write to align my thoughts and clear my head.

Dear Lord
Dear Lord,
I know we don't talk much anymore, but I know you always listen to me when I call. I just wanted you to know how much this family you have given me means to me. I tell you this a lot, but I just needed to write it down. I am trying my best to take care of them and do what is right. My little boy bows his head to pray before we eat, and he puts a smile on any face he meets. He truly is a treasure. If you took him home tomorrow I would be a better man for having had him. My wife is a blessing without end. I definitely don't deserve her, but I do try to make up for the discrepancy. She is carrying our second child now and I am equally amazed at how the whole process works. I know I don't deserve all that you have done and continue to do so I just wanted to say thanks.
Love,
Mike
