You got me tied down with battleship chains, fifty foot long with a two ton anchor...

Yep, that picture is ten years old today. My hair style is even older than that. I have lost some pounds though...

I woke up this morning pretty much the same way I do everyday. I'm rousted from my slumber to a bazaar fisheye view of a cat snooter(s) as they come up on the bed, purr, and sniff my face. I flip on the news to see what I missed in the seven hours I've been a sleep, my daughter comes in shortly there after with a loud and earnest "GOOD MORNING MOMMY, GOOD MORNING DADDY!", crawls into bed and immediately asks me to change the channel over to "Little Einstein’s". After holding her off until I can catch a weather report, I abide her wishes and get up to start my day.

This morning however, as I look at what transpires during the above mentioned half hour routine and with overwhelming emotion, realize how happy I am that I married my wife, or better yet, how lucky I am she said yes. She is responsible for everything I am and everything we have together. She gave me my daughter and I don't know if I'll ever be able to repay her for that. I would simply be lost without her. Happy tenth anniversary dear!!!
