made and lost fortunes...ended up somewhere in between...married to the love of my life...have 2 amazing daughters and have realized many things...most of which I would have known if I would have listened to advice given throughout the years...I tell my wife and kids I love them every chance I get and apologize to my mother for the kid I was...I have learned what true love is and is not...acceptance, admiration and adoration are nice but not necessary...contentment is a choice which must be consciously made for all aspects of life and I am begining to solve this long time mystery...
