"...a real man has a sensitive heart and a listening ear. A real man is someone who can respect a woman, even if he doesn't agree with her. And it doesn't matter whether he can change the oil, or drive a tractor-or even walk. It doesn't matter what he wears, or how he talks, or what he does for a living...That's what makes you a real man...You always have been. You always will be. And let me add that I think a real man isn't afraid to be a nursemaid to his invalid wife or to change diapers, or to bathe babies. And a real man's not afraid to cry or admit he can't do everything alone. That's why you're my hero...Because you understand what's really important. Back when we were just friends, you were the one who taught me that I could believe in myself; that the good inside of me was the only thing that really mattered...And through the years together, you've taught me a great deal about faith...You've carried me through times when I couldn't carry myself. You loved me in spite of myself, and you taught me to believe in my potential and reach for it; to find the qualities in my that really mattered..."
