Top Ten Reasons Denise Sawicki is Awesome
10) She wore red on her wedding day, and she looked good.
9) She doesn't just send the DVD as a surprise birthday gift. She sends the book they based the movie on.

She obviously possessed quite an inner resiliency even if she seemed petite and frail on the outside, but it was inevitable that she would someday lose the fight with her own body. Go »Crash

We've been through many ups and downs together, and those downs have to do with why we're not married yet, but I love her as much now as I ever have.
