1. Missing you
2. The storm is almost over
3. Poetry, Music, my mother & God have saved my life more times than I can count
4. Loving you more than vulgar words can describe (smile)
5. Nyla Bear growing up and being mature enough to stay out during the day
6. Allison Ann & Impalas- thank you is all I can say due to a lack of words
7. Knowing I've made an affect on my 9th Graders and them making an affect on me

10. Family support and friends that make it easier to exhale...

Bonus: Lillianna's due date June 21st. But I think she'll come before then!!!!

When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly! 'The power of one sentence!

I loved you even when you dented the bumper of my truck.

I loved you when you were in between jobs.

I loved you enough to share my money.

I rubbed your seizures away with love.

I love your hair big and puffy!

I love it straight.

I love your body...nails done or not.

Our love survived the smallest apartment.

Our love survived single incomes.

I love you without conditions.

Love,

David

48) She talked like she had a wad of spit under her tongue waiting to be up-chucked from her throat like a louggie
49) I think I hate kids. Especially the ones that dig in their butts and up their noses as if the Lucky Charm guy left them something magically delicious
50) Sitting there pretending to do her work. She thinks I'm unaware of her lazy tendencies as if it doesn't leave a familiar scent one could get high to, like paint...I can't wait until she starts peeling
