After losing two relationships due to my work ethic (married to my business), I met the love of my life, married, and now have a beautiful 13 yo daughter, that writes assays in her advanced English class that would compare to some of the more thoughtful prose on these pages.
Point being, MAKE the time, my friend.
I have a pic of my daughter when she was 3, wearing mom's high heels and holding a wrench offering her help in rebuilding my tractor (whole nuther project lol)
Just being a part of the Free Republic is a big deal. We walk the same world.
I am very proud of what you can share with everyone and the fact that your daughter will be raised with that wrench!
GodSpeed!
