I have always said I loved those days but don&amp;#39;t ever wish for a time machine. And you&amp;#39;re right, of course. I found myself at the bottom of a pit, wondering how the hell I got there and how I&amp;#39;d ever make it out alive, sometimes literally. The only saving graces in my journey were you girls, a God I wasn&amp;#39;t even sure of, and the endless patience of a mountain man. No matter how far we roam, being together again always feels like home to me. I love how we have grown up together, sharing the best, the  worst, the beautiful, and the downright hideous. Just remember girls...if you ever need me like I have and will continue to need you, I&amp;#39;ll be standing in the gap for you.
