OK My voice is back.
It tires easily but I can sing. The huskiness in the middle of my range ( a smoker's sound if you will and no I don't) was restricted to two notes this morning and is now gone from those two notes. I am still dealing with congestion but less. I took a nap today. Going to bed shortly.
I had an interesting conversation that has kind of stayed with me. People get married for varied reasons. Some for love, some for a family, some for companionship, some for money, some because it is the next step in the relationship path.
My personal approach is for a life partner. So mine would be love. I would sacrifice having children for that to be honest. Kids are a nice variable for me. I can take them of leave them. I love kids but I don't necessarily feel the biological urge to reproduce.
I like my examples though. Maplemama always makes me realize the joys of motherhood. She has always been the mother figure. And we are only a year apart in age. But she has always had that quality so I am not only not surprised that she has Mini Maple but thankful that she found a life partner that she loves as much as she does and that they had Minimaple. I thank God every day for the blessings that one of my bestest friends has.
Lena too, She married her best friend. And has two stunning children. She always wanted a family and when that lady makes a decision - watch out. She's on a mission! I know her pretty well. Better than most. Not as well as some. But I think that she made a good choice here. When people who are married tell you about the high's and the low's, her low would be higher than most because the foundation is friendship. I envy that in a way because that's how my mom and step-dad got together as well.
We have Bernie who is a shining example of love and passion. He married his bride while we were still in college. They too have beautiful talented children - if you don't believe me check his blog The Digital Father
I tend to be a believer in love. A believer in true love, love at first site, love that blossoms over time. All of it. I'm not restricted to any one form either. I also think that there is something to be said for the concept of that one perfect person. All of my friends have found it at one point or another. I'm confident mine is out there too.
My other half.
I'm thinking of the song my mom used to sing jokingly "someday my prince will come".
I still believe it.

From Bernie-
"Cinderella" is a fave of my wifes, and she sings that song all the time.
Thanks for the note on my kids. They are talented, and I do nothing to encourage it. They simply have it in them.
My son just got called back for "Fame", their show. He might be Schlomo. Imagine my tall, thin, blond-haired and blue-eyed boy... a Schlomo.
