I am \*\*ENCHANTED \*\*by your love story. One of my favorite movies in the world is ‘LA Story’ with Steve Martin. At the end he says that, ‘Out there is someone for everyone, even if it takes a pickax and night goggles to find them.’ To have such a love is a gift beyond compare. To find such a woman as your Pam is your own personal miracle to hold in your broken heart. I cannot imagine going through what you descibe your Pam suffered. But I DO know that going through it with one you adore and who adores you would be the only way it could be born. You will always be her hero, her sexy voice, her foot warmer, and her soft place to land. You get to take all that stuff with you into the next great adventure. ---
