In the months before we first met, I had a romantic dream.
I remember waking up...hugging my pillow and sobbing with the overwhelmed feelings of suddenly being aware of love...what it is, and what I could feel for the first time, more strongly than ever before.

It was a premonition of what was about to happen. On the very next Valentine's Day (although it was night)...I found the love that I had dreamed about. And when she whispered in my ear "will you dance with me"...we were together for the rest of the night and for every night since then.

I have learned this since meeting her and marrying her: She has the discernment of the very wise, the comprehension of the philospher, the adaptability of the very young, the awareness of the artist, the compassion and kindness of an advanced soul, the hardiness of the explorer, the capacity of a savant, and the constancy, courage and level-headedness of the genuine thing...my wife, My Leslie.
