Wife, the Universe, & Everything…
Upon this day, in the year of our LORD 1978 my sweet wife Candace Rae Daniels Prosser was born in suburban Dallas. Today is her thirty-first birthday. We’ve been a couple since the spring months of 1996 and were married during the summer three years later, so I’ve been a participant in no less than thirteen of her birthdays. As I reflect upon each of these observances my thoughts become episodic, replaying the good
