I am back again for another commentary. This one will be dedicated to one person that means a lot to me. I sometimes feel that I don't show her how much I care her enough so I thought maybe this would be the way to do it. I hope you all enjoy this sappy, sweet commentary. Now onto the commentary.

I have a person in my life that helps make every day a little sweeter, a little easier to take, a lot better than the last. This person is there when I smile, when I frown, when I cry, when I want to give up, and any time that I need the strength to go on. This person brightens my day with a smile and steals my heart with a touch. This person is the best girlfriend a guy could ever ask for. This persom is my Crystal Mae Wilson.

I first met Crystal when I ran around with her older brother, Wayne. We went to his house and I met this cute young lady for the first time. At the time she was very young and I had no thoughts of us being together because of the difference in age. She was cute and sweet and, as I learned later over a game of handheld Jeopardy, a smart-ass just the same though. She smiled and laughed and stayed by my side the whole time I was there. I didn't know it until later but she had a crush on me and I thought that was sweet.

We went for a while without seeing each other. Finally we ran into one another a couple times a few years later. By this time the age difference was still there but it didn't seem as bad and I developed a crush on her. The bad thing was we both had significant (or insignificant in my case) others, so we went on with our lives. I thought about her a lot from then on. Finally I was able to grow the gonads to break up with my psycho girlfriend (which ended up in her showing just how psycho she was). I still didn't call her because I didn't know what to say but I thought about it a lot but I didn't.

Then one day out of the blue we ran into each other at the movies while watching "The House on Haunted Hill". I wasn't sure it was her because Dusty and I were up in the stadium seats and she was down low in the floor seats so I called her name. When she turned around I waved and after she figured out who it was she came running up to see me. We talked for a bit then she said we should do something and to call her.

So a few days later after Dusty talked some courage into me I called her. We scheduled a date for a Friday night. So that Friday Crystal, Ozzy, Crystal's cousin Amy, and I went to see a dog of a movie, "Sleepy Hollow". The movie wasn't that great but at least I was with Crystal. We began hanging out together more after that and after a month or so we began dating on December 17, 2001

Obviously that means that we are going on 2 years together. We have had a few bad times and one near fatal time but the good times still out weigh all of the bad. Our good times mean so much to me and there are so many that I wouldn't even know where to begin to tell you about all of them. It is quite a gift to find someone that can make you feel like you are on top of the world and Crystal does that for me. I love her with all of y heart and I hope to spend a lot more years with her.

Take care,
