Just wanted to thank my Military Heros... Mike, Dr. Love, Brayton, Elizabeth & Mike G., Jessica and Hubby D, Ryan R. (Elise's darlin), and my daddio....
Today I looked over at Mike - and I could hardly hold back the tears of grattitude that he was home again.
I watched Ashley's face - bright with love and happiness.
I remembered that his brother, is still there, and that it weighs heavy on his heart.
Ashley reminded me tonight that Mike is alive today because someone sacrificed their life for him... it was Mikes Birthday and his friend said, "No one should have to go out to war on their birthday" (basically paraphrased) and He never returned that day. So when I get into my clean comfortable bed, in my safe warm home, and reach over and touch the arm of my husband next to me, and close my eyes without fear.... I WILL remember those that
Didn't get to sleep at all
Don't have a bed
Left their homes and children to serve
Left their loved ones home to leave fresh tears on the pillow
Never came home.
I am grateful for you,
I honor you.
Thank you.
