soul mate #1: my grandmama - there's no one like her; no one who knows how to appreciate life more; no one with a more outrageous laugh. no one with more sparkling eyes. no one who teaches me more.soul mate #2: my would-be wife, cheryl - she is pure sunshine. bubbling laughter, endless witty one-liners and a heart of solid gold.favorite quotes: kermit the frog who so wisely said: "Forget the map, roll down the windows, and whenever you can, pull over and have a picnic with a pig."the wizard of oz: "And remember my sentimental friend: a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others."....
