Dear Casey,
A few years ago, you read a dedication from me to my wife. In that letter, I told you how I nearly lost my wife during childbirth. I'd like everyone to know that she & my daughter are doing well today. This month, my wife & I will celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Elena is a beautiful, loving, and wonderful person. She's a great mother to our daughter Emma, and she's a great wife who stick with me through all the good & bad times. I cherish every day spent with Elena, and I look forward to all the great times ahead. Would you please play "Forever and for Always" for Elena? Thanks.
