I'm Back...

Yes, I went to the deserts of Afghanistan. Spent a month there, did missions. Whatever.

Was called back when it was discovered that my wife has Stage IV Non-small cell lung cancer. Diagnosis date was April 30th.

Since then I've been working as a recruiter in our town to allow me to stay on Active Duty while I take care of her.

Her cancer spread to her bones, her skin, brain, and spine. Yes it sucks, but we are fighting it. I'm worried though, this last week has been particularly rough after this last round of radiation.

I want her to feel better. I hate seeing her in so much pain.

Life sucks.

Our favorite take on the black combat boot. Add a military meets rocker edge to your flirty florals for a right-now look.
