Brad said...: Here's another version that introduces me using the same structure. Note how it follows my original but provides different details.

Loved my time in university, but haven’t considered going back. Loved my little kids, but they’ve grown up and moved away.

Love to wine and dine with family,working through this path of life, trying to find myself looking at my daughter like the eye of an angel, knowing that life without her I'd be incomplete; I'd never feel this inner peace, i couldn't be content.

Life is like a picture, and I want it to be a beautiful, brilliant, and perfect one;
But I doubt that I couldn't get all the colors to build it. Nevertheless, I will put all the colors I have.; February 12, 2010 at 1:53 AM
