Rarely does a bedtime go by that Janis doesn’t look over to me and say, “Honey, thank you for providing me with this warm bed and this wonderful house. We are very blessed.” I always say, “Yes, darlin’ we are very blessed.” Thank you for being here when I come home dog tired from another road trip, and for giving me your unconditional love. I am a very blessed man to have you.”
