I'm sitting by myself on Virginia Beach, listening to Crystal Method and reading 'ortraits Of Pregnancy'. Some of the images are very beautiful, but what really touched me were the words. Written by the women who bravely shared their bodies in the photographs, their thoughts and stories really bring home the love of family and the importance of children in our lives...


I always carry a sense of awe and humble gratitude in my heart for my wife. She gave me the gift of her love, and with our physical love, combined our flesh into my sons.

Without you, Toni, I wouldn't be whole or happy. Without all of the sacrafices you made without complaint, I wouldn't have Ian and Xander. Without my family, I could never grow into who I am now.

As each day passes... As we grow older and our children grow up, I learn new things about myself, about you, and about everything in this world and in my heart.

Thank you for helping me become a better person every day. I wish I could learn faster... To be the perfect husband and father that me family deserves.

Thank you for your patience, your love, your strength. Thank you for being you, and for sharing yourself with me. You will always be my goddess, guiding me towards happiness and enlightenment.

For these things, and all the countless other reasons, I will choose you every single day of my life.

I love you, Toni.
With everything I am and everything I hope to become.
I love you, always.
