Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."

Thanks to all the people who have been my friends over the years and have helped me grow and find myself:
Thank you to Adam, for your unending patience and support, and for being my first true love. Thank you for holding my hand and for letting me fly. Thank you for taking the chance to love me. Thank you for standing the test of time with me. I love you.
Thank you to my college friends, for proving that I can be more than a mouse, and for all the amusement. I'll never forget any of you and what you gave to me.
Thank you to all my current friends -- for putting up with me, for helping me branch away from just Adam, and for letting me grow into myself. I could not have gotten this far without any of you.
And thank you to everyone else in my life who has been an influence. Thank you for teaching me, caring for me, and above all, "corrupting" me.
Oh, and I got married. On May 22, 2005. After five and a half years, we are husband and wife. *joy*
Joanna and Adam
"Our love is an old love baby, it's older than all our years
I have seen in strange young eyes familiar tears
We're old souls in a new life baby
They gave us a new life to live and learn
Some time to touch old friends and still return.
Our paths have crossed and parted; this love affair was started long long ago
This love survives the ages; in its story lives are pages
Fill them up, may ours turn slow.
Our love is a strong love baby, we give it all and still receive
And so with empty arms we must still believe
All souls last forever so we need never fear goodbye
A kiss when I must go...no tears...in time...we kiss hello."
--Phantom of the Paradise soundtrack, "Old Souls"
"Don't let me go
And I will never leave
Show me how I see myself
And I will show you everything
That you make me be."
-from "Love Letters" (a poem we wrote together)
