Today is my Mom’s 10th birthday! The age 10 is a running joke in the family ever since the first grade when I proudly announced to my classmates that my mom was 10-years old.

So to my Mommy Cecilia, I love you, and many happy returns.

To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job.

What is a husband? He is the one who, with a touch, can bring back the starlight and glow of years long ago. At least he hopes he can - don’t disappoint him.
~ Alan Beck

When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.
~ Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort

When a wife has a good husband it is easily seen in her face.

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing up the grass.” “We’re not raising grass,” Dad would reply. “We’re raising boys.”
~Harmon Killebrew

Of course my father was a great influence on me. He taught me how to read.
~Michael Foot
