![]() Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863

![]() She sits thinking, waiting, wondering, anticipating... She turns and he is there. He looks at her with eyes that know she is his soul-mate, the one that makes his life worth living, the miracle that saved him in this life. She turns and smiles, her face lights the way as he anticipates her words, touch and company. He loves her already. She looks at him as he saunters across the street approaching her with a smile that could right any wrong, light any darkness, and diminish the worst pain. Her heart jumps and wonders is he the one? Are we finally together? Has the long road brought us together finally? She thinks, yes my soul-mate, my true love, he is here. They hug with a familiarity and warmth of the sun rising and setting in the sky. They turn, walk in hand, and hand to begin this life together forever... Here we are on our 3rd anniversary and 8 years together, with every single day growing our love more than the last. I love you so much! You are my life Baby, always and forever. You really can live happily ever after... |
