Sometimes in life you are given challenges to test your will. As my time comes closer and closer I realized how truly blessed I am to have a beautiful, intelligent, witty, sexy and amazing wife, a son that is full of positive energy, and a daughter that is so precious that you can't help but take a second look. When people ask where I'm going or where I'll be and thank me for the sacrifice that I will endure I have to tell them the biggest sacrifice is carried by my wife. I just have to be a Marine, no different than I have been for the past 12 years. On the other hand my wife has to be a mother, father, comforter, disciplinarian and everything else you have to be when a father's obligations take him elsewhere. I know she's strong and will be all that and more. Things I will miss: dog fights (play fighting w/ Son), feeding my daughter, sharing the little things with the wife….. It is about that time I sign off here. I look forward to
sharing this journey with you, and trying to let you see it through my eyes.
Thank you babe, that means a lot. It definitely is not easy. This is one of the hardest things I've ever done but I just keep telling myself, this too shall pass. Even though you are gone I still will enjoy watching our kids grow and learn new things. I will do my best to keep you updated with pictures and Skype:) The house just isn't the same without you...
