I heard "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on the radio on the way to work today.  The words rang so true.

Dave is a part of my life, you are a part of me.  Big difference.

Missy is a part of your life, I am a part of you.  Big difference.

We are the other half of each other.  No one else can be that for me and no one else can be that for you.  We have a "weird, special connection" like you once said.  You also once said to me, "You are so much a part of who I am."

You also once said, "What we have transcends all that."  In reference to all the stuff that happened in the summer of 1995.  Transcends.  Yes.  What we have transcends anything that has happened over the years.  "Like gold to airy thinness beat," to quote the John Donne poem, A Valediction:  Forbidding Mourning.

I love you so much!!!!!
