Dar - I can't believe it's been seven years. So much has happened in the years since you've been gone, including you inspiring me to write "Man of My Dreams - Love Never Dies," which has touched many people. Thank you for making this journey without you a little easier by providing me with absolute knowledge that you are there. With the passing of the years, our time to meet again is even closer.

Man of My Dreams,

It has been a year since you've been gone.

I miss you every minute of every day and love you with all my heart and soul.

Although the world is crying, Heaven is smiling.

Until we're together again..........
