For all my male buddies out there, bend over and grab your ankles. This is going to be as strong as those ass-whippings George Cason used to lay on us when we acted up at HHS. Your wives and girlfriends are going to wonder why they don’t get notes like this from you. (By the way, for the paltry sum of $1,200 per hour, I’ll be happy to do some consulting with any of you who might think they can talk their way out of the doghouse for one reason or another!)

I started last year off with a tribute to my wife, Jill Tigner, and considering what we’ve got ahead of us for the next few weeks, I want her to know, going in, how much she means to me. If she were thinking at all that she might want to have me rubbed out, now would be a good time to do it. So, baby, I love you and I’m hoping this love note will buy me some more time.

Just In Case

Just in case you wondered, today is the day I love you more than all other days.

Just in case you wondered, you have given our children the very best mother a son could possibly want.

Just in case you wondered, you are the very best role model for any little girl or woman of any age who is lucky enough to have you in her life.

Just in case you wondered, on this day and every day, you have been the best mate I could have possibly hoped for and much more of one than I’ll ever deserve.

Just in case you wondered, your laughter is the single best medicine for my body and soul.

Just in case you wondered, on this day and every day, you are the most beautiful woman that breathes on God’s earth.

Just in case you wondered, on this day and every day, you are the kindest person I have ever known.

Just in case you wondered, I can’t imagine taking a single step in life without you by my side.

Just in case you wondered, on this day and every day, I thank God in heaven that He allowed the stars to align themselves and make way for our lives to intersect. The day we married was, is and will always be the best day of my life.

Just in case you wondered, getting to become part of your family and to have them let me become part of theirs is a constant source of goodness in my life.

Just in case you wondered, the fact that I recognize the best road to take in life is the high road is solely attributable to your teaching. This is one of the greatest gifts you’ve given me.

Just in case you wondered, on this day and every day, I cherish every single moment we have to spend with each other. I pray that we are blessed with many more days and long, good lives together.

Just in case you wondered, I will never not love you.
