Dumb Kids Not Knowing How Dumb

Tomorrow, July 23 Darlene and I will celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary. Darlene would not want me to mention her age so I won't but I was only 21 and she only two years younger when we got married in 1976. We were just dumb kids back then but we got lucky.

39 years is a long time. The have been joyous times and rough times when each of us have doubted if our life together would survive. I am sure that is the same with every marriage.

However no matter the circumstances there is no other person on Earth that I would rather have by my side. She is strong when I am weak. I can count on her through thick and thin. She does whatever has to be done no matter the circumstances.

A lesson learned by me through these years is that a partner is one of the most valuable things in life. I am the richest man in the world because I have the most valuable thing in life.

Happy Anniversary, Darlene.

Hi, I made a Youtube video in memory of my brother Daniel, who tragically passed away 9 years ago in an ongoing battle for addiction. This video is in dedication to Daniel, and was also made to help spread awareness for addiction. If you are, or know someone, who is struggling with addiction, please share this with them. My hope is that no family will have to endure the pain my family has felt for these past 9 years. Please take some time out of your day to share with others and to help spread awareness!! Together we can truly shatter the stigma and stop the silence. Enjoy the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6afkpgmHK6w
