Girl, I’m partial to the way you touch my hand and the softness of your skin. And late at night the way you talk with me, lets me know, n this world, you’re my best friend. Having known my wife, Genevieve, for 49 years, including 44 years as husband and wife, I am never ceased to be amazed at her. I tease her that she is always right, and the truth is, that she is always RIGHT for me. She has been the best wife, mother, (now grandmother) and friend, although, I can't put my finger on one specific thing....in fact, it's everything..... and there is no ONE reason why I love her.

Dame la patita, Chiquitito says. Feo, Feo, start the car. Happy birthday, love you. What you doing sweetie, hello there (whis-tle). Skies are blue. My wife's grandmother lived to be 99 years of age. For the last 10 years of her life, she had a constant companion at her side....her parrot, Chiquitito. A colorful, happy character, he started each day early and consistently loud and prominent at the home of my mother-in-law, where Grandma Lala lived. Upon Lala's death, Chiquitito, evidently heartbroken, passed soon thereafter to go look for Grandma Lala.

Deep down in my heart, I know that it’s true, that you are the one and I promise you that this sweet madness will live forever. Yes, this sweet madness will never, never die. When a young man finds that special one who captures his heart and soul, the feeling is overwhelming. His every waking moment is consumed with thoughts and plans for the present and the future. He almost feels out of control, but is determined to make this relationship successful and everlasting. In my case, this sweet madness has never ceased nor diminished.

We spend our lives preparing, always for the rain and cloudy skies. Instead of living for the light of day, we let it pass us by. We often forget that each day is a gift from God above. We can easily get distracted and place value and our focus on things that, in the end, won't matter at all. Losing friends and loved ones is a time to reflect on the greatest gift of all. Freedom is born out of these moments of reflection.

Something’s got a hold on me, I don’t know what it is. Some choose to call it love, others call it bliss, but what it is, is the thought of having you tonight. Maybe I will catch your eye. Maybe, I just might have you tonight. I don’t know what it is. When a young man falls in love, he may not recognize what it is at first. He may deny it, doubt it or be leery of it. But, the fact is, true love is, actually, quite natural and accessible. The the hard part is recognizing it, accepting it and seizing the opportunity. Too many people miss out on the last step because they think, it couldn't be love.

Well, there’s something going on at Sweetwater High Mustang Bowl this Friday night. The news is spreading like wildfire. Everybody’s getting the word. Have you heard about who we are. As a high school football coach in Sweetwater, Texas for 32 years, I enjoyed not only coaching the secondary and teaching my Calculus classes but writing fight songs for the team. Each year, I sang covers as well as my original songs for my classes and at pep rallies for the team, students and local fans.

I love waking up next to her in the morning and laying beside her at night. The beauty I see in her face is exceeding, but, oh how misleading to me. Young love is uncertain at best. Being vulnerable is a requirement. Not knowing what tomorrow brings is guaranteed, but without taking a chance, you will never find out. A broken heart is a likely result, but, you are not the only one and eventually, it will be worth it.

Where have all the red flags gone that waved so high and proud and strong, reminding me to pass on through, cause, we are not the same as you. Driving from West Texas to Southeast Texas for nearly 50 years, I have seen the heart of Texas change, both literally and figuratively. The large cities have all grown and changed, but the small towns seem frozen in time. Politics have flipped from my grandfather's Texas Democrats and seemingly, maybe, possibly back in my 70 years here in Texas. God bless Texas.
