On this day 34 years ago the creator of the universe made my bride. She is the most wonderful human I have ever met. She loves me unconditionally and cares for my children more than she does herself. She knows me better than anyone on this planet and she accepts me for who I am in spite of all my weaknesses! Abby without you I would be lost.
