10 years later

  It's hard to believe that I am where I am today. Memories from when I was 14 years old are as vivid to me as if they had just happened last month. I wanted to be a father, to have a family, to have wife and children to call my own; to love, from way back then..
  10 years later I have just what I wanted; what I wished for, but with a mind that's 10 years older, that knows what it means to care, to truly care. The difficulty of responsibility and repercussions of caring follow closely behind the thrill of love, relationships, and people to call family. I hope that I can have the strength to keep it in that order.
  I will always worry about whether I will make the right decisions or not, but remembering that love and family are the most important things in life--though the risks, hardships, and sorrow are there--what is that worth compared to preserving something as rare and priceless as that?
  Thank you, hony, for making my dream come true. I do get hit with apprehensions and the sometimes overwhelming sense of responsibility, but nothing good comes without a price. So thank you. I am a lucky man to be at your side. I love you!
