It's hard to believe that it's been one year since my heart attack, but there it is on the calendar plain as day – April 27th.
The past year has taught me a lot about myself. I've made time to think about all the things I've taken for granted, things I never bothered to consider, and the things that I was afraid to even consider. I can say without doubt or hesitation that I am so overwhelmingly blessed.
One this day, I have to say thank you to the amazing doctors & nurses that have given me a new life.
I am so thankful to my family and friends for their love and concern. You have no idea what this meant & still means to me.
I thank God for the opportunity – both in the moment and the days since – to learn and see so many things that I hadn't before.
But most of all, I am grateful to my wife for her unconditional love & support.
When I was scared to death, she would not let me face that fear alone. On that day and really ever since, I've seen a strength in her that I may not have noticed otherwise, and it has given me strength. The past twelve months have been so special, so amazing and — at times — so difficult. We've laughed until we cried and cried until we laughed. And we have lived our lives… more than we ever would have. I've been restored by something that I have always known and never doubted: My soul will never be alone. I will always have my soul mate.
And, looking back, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love you, baby, and I'm so proud of all the changes you've made.
