As I have said before in one way or another, in 1989 my heart jumped out of my chest and started walking around outside of me. It multiplied 5 times over the following years. Had I known what I know now I would most definitely do it all over again. You have defined and saved my life a million times. Thank you.
I know I work all the time now. I am spread so thin that nobody gets as much as I would like to give. I miss so many little things. Please know that you are in my heart, my intentions, and my thoughts all day. I will make some money one day, and you will have everything you need. I swear.
2010 was great, but let's look ahead. This next year can be our best. We will laugh, dance, cheer, cry a little, work and play. LSU will play some baseball, and we will roll some dice on full count. I want to go to the beach, to the mountains, and to the mall with you. I know what it feels like to be comforted with the fact that someone is out there and loving you. My Dad was like that. I hope I am that for you.
I am that for you.
So, Happy New Year to my children. I hope you don't go with the crowd unless they are dancing, preferably in front of a marching band. I hope you defend the weak, and if someone messes with one of you, I hope they have to go through the other 4. You know they will have to deal with me as well. And the Canadian. Choose to be happy. Work hard. Love somebody that doesn't deserve it. As my dad and any of my grandparents would say," Give 'em hell." I love you with all of me. It hurts it's so much, but it's a good hurt.
