You should know that this is exactly how I received this in an e-mail while I was at work...  (Sent Jan 02, 2002)

Open Me Now:

There was once a young man from a place far away. There wasn't much to this sturdy gent. He was rough and worn and tried through and through.  There wasn't much that this callused man hadn't seen already. Then one day the most wonderful thing happened. He had his first stroke of good luck. Until this point, there was no such thing. Heck, he never even heard of it. A beautiful and extremely wonderful woman in every sense of the phrase came into his life and changed it forever. It seemed as if there was no color before, only black and white. It is almost as if she painted the world in his eyes. 

                                  That's you to me baby! I love you!

I was just thinking about you over there in that comfortable bed just a dreamin' away.  You and your beautiful, angel-like, innocent face just in complete and utter peacefulness.  I love that.  Just like the song last night said.  "Sometimes late at night, I lay awake and watch you sleeping.  You're lost in peaceful dreams and turn out the lights and lay there in the dark.  And a thought crosses my mind..." 

                                                I love you.
