How do you thank someone who volunteers to put their lives on the line daily for our country's freedom??? I don't know but I will try.
Shawn, You are the love of my life, the best father ever, the most amazing husband, a wonderful soldier and a fantastic cop. You have heart, compassion and drive that is really hard to find in a person. God has given me an amazing gift of you. Thank you for all you have done for our country and foremost our family. I married you knowing this was the path you had chosen. It was super difficult but well worth it in the end. I never had our first pregnancy planned the way it turned out. Thanks for giving me that "going away gift" of pregnancy prior to your second deployment to Iraq. It was the longest year of our lives. I am thankful that God allowed you to be home on R&R for Mason's birth. I wish you could have been there for all the IV's, multiple hospital stays and were able to physically care for me but that was not in our cards. Thank goodness for my mom :) I am sorry for giving you heck when you had to deploy. I really only did it because I couldn't see living a moment with out you around. I cried a lot but those tears kept me going. 14.5 years later we are still going strong. 7 of those were active and the last 7 have been reserves. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I love you more then ever!!
