It wasn't so long ago that I had a revelation thanks to my baby. I was struggling with the fact that for as long as I could remember, I had filled all of my extra time with things that either created some income or kept me "involved" in music. Normally what that meant is I had a full plate, doing a half-assed job of everything. Leaving little time to simply enjoy life and family and just being me. I was looking to less'n the load but I was concerned that failure.that quitting something.that by not being the Uber-Promoter/Agent/DJ/Bartender/Beer Vendor/Salesman on top of being a great Dad/Boyfriend/friend/son/brother/neighborthat I would lose respect of the ones I love.

It was at this moment that my baby said something to me that was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Six words, simply put, butquite possibly life changing.

"You are not what you do".

"WHAT!?!"

I am not what I do.

In this statement she showed me love beyond what I do. She showed me that she loved me and it mattered not what I do. That I was a person you wanted to be with without me having the "Be" anything but myself. Dreams are great and wonderful thingsbut filling your life with the pursuit of them is a choice. An option. Stuff is just stuff. Having more stuff is a choice. Money is just money. A way of life is a choice. Living a life is a gift. She is a gift and I am blessed.

So I made some changes and now I sleep better and I am much more at Peace than I have been in a long time.

I believe that you never know what you will receive from the person you chose to be your one and only. That in fact, the people you love have no idea how they will affect your life. But love, plain and simple is not only nurturing but forgiving.

Being with Ammie has been the most amazing time of my life. Thank you Ammie for letting me be your knight in shining armor. Thank you Ammie for giving me love like I have never known.

Love,
Whit
