Today...

I thought about you and about us all day long. Everything I would hear, see, touch and taste would remind me of you. I love you more than words can begin to express. We have come through so much together and I truly believe we are stronger b/c of it. I found myself seeing your smile, hearing your voice, remembering silly things we have done, envisioning allllllll the wonderful things we are going to experience together. I just know it...I don't know why or how, but today I know it! 




We will do this ...




 

  









and this...











 and this...









and this...











and this...










and this...

 





and you'll do this as I...





 do this....




 and I will do this for you...











                                     and you will say...



and then we will dance in our kitchen... 






I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!

MLK, Jr. Day 2012


Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

 I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.
Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream, 1963.

 I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Price Acceptance Speech 

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching
spiritual death.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
Martin Luther King, Jr.


All the species celebrate MLK, JR. Day
