30 years of learning sweet and sometimes hard lessons,
30 years of loving,
30 years of laughing (most of the time pretty hard),
30 years of making sense of this world,
20 years wanting to grow up too quickly,
10 years hoping to keep some youth,
10 years spent with my soul mate,
8 years parenting the most beautiful creatures I have ever known (inside and out),
and yet still a lifetime to look forward to.
