I had always felt strong and confident. I learned that from my family. Then I met your mom, a teacher. Then I met you, and just like your mom you became my teacher. You taught me the true and real meaning of LOVE. I saw it in your eyes and I saw it in your smile. I was the one that was blessed when you came into my life.
