I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

I guess I'm okay with that. But it's not going to be easy for you. They don't have a lot of fishing or mudding around here. I figured. And not a lot of beach volleyball, either. Especially in January. I guess I'll have to make some sacrifices. Maybe if you're lucky, we can find you some other ways to occupy your time.
