I dedicate this to you, Karen Gardy, for you are my inspiration, my focus and my everlasting love. Before you entered my life, I was pale from years of living within myself. Your beauty and charm, radiant smile and sparkling eyes awakened in me a love so vast that words could never explain. The special connection that we hold in our hearts has made us one, bonded together for the ages. A bond so strong that neither one of us can fully understand. You will always share a special place in my heart. And as we travel the road of life, each in our own direction, we will never be far apart for our love remains a constant. When times are rough and we stumble or fall, we need only to look at the heavens for our strength and it is there that you will “Meet Me In The Stars.” I hope you enjoy these words and keep them close to your heart always. You are the "love of my life" and my best friend and soul-mate.
I will Always Love You...forever and a day.
