My wife and I had a house and it had and still has a very special place in my heart. I had lived with my love for many years‚ together since we were oh so very young.

As you walk into the front door of the house you notice a long‚ slender stairway that led up into the main hallway of the house. The strong smell of

My day would begin with an enthusiastic high pitched red muppet‚ otherwise known as Elmo‚ teaching me the ABC’s and end shortly after sunset with my mother reading me fairy tales about princesses and talking animals. By nightfall‚ the princess always ended up with
