"and in this crazy life and through these crazy times, it's you...it's you..." I chose this song because these words sum up the last 18 years of our life. Together we have experienced tremendous highs and lows and a whole lot of stuff in between. I cannot imagine my life without this man. Dan is my rock, my voice of reason, rationality, and a calm oasis that is ever constant. He sees the good in everyone and every situation and manages to keep an amazing sense of humor. When I looked for photos for this post, it was difficult for me to find photos with just he and I together. There are plenty of ones with the 2 of us with 1 or 2 children, but not many of just us together. When we were married 18 years ago Dan got an "instant family" with me and 4 year old Nick. Nick and Grace have no better father and I could have no better person (my best friend) to share this journey with. Dan puts up with my shenanigans. He brings out the best in me and I hope I bring out the best in him. We have gone through so much on this roller coaster called life--highs and lows both personally, professionally and even medically. Almost exactly 1 short year after we married, Dan was in a near fatal car accident and he survived against overwhelming odds. I am blessed in so many, many ways and I thank God everyday for those blessings. We have managed to come through it all with much love, mutual respect and always a sense of humor. I love you Dan. :) Gail
