This is the woman that I have spent the greatest part of my third decade and my life with. On 19 JULY 1997, she formally agreed to marry me and our voyage began. To best explain what kind of a woman she is, you have to understand that she is an Army wife. The sacrifices that she makes for me could not be made by just anyone; they have to be self-sustaining, forgiving (only Christ himself has forgiven more), loving, and most of all, understanding. I love her more than anyone could know. She makes living worthwhile.
