My life? It isn't easy to explain. It has not been the rip-roaring spectacular I fancied it would be, but neither have I burrowed with the gophers.

A good buy, a lucky buy and I've learned that not everyone can say this about their lives. But do not be misled. I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten, but I have loved someone with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. |

Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else. |
Silence is Holy. It draws people closer together. Because those who are only comfortable with each other, can sit without speaking. |
Single motherhood is a reality for a lot of women in my age group and the time difficulties in their lives are universal. |
