Today, as you face the first anniversary since your angel warrior went to do his eternal mission, remember as you always state so beautifully that your's and his love is eternal as well. May that give you some peace as you feel the overwhelming feelings of missing him. <br /><br />We love you,<br />The Bender'sThe Bender'snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427914240818002464.post-25593766846824302622009-07-28T22:11:04.488-04:002009-07-28T22:11:04.488-04:00Thank you for sharing your story with the cyber wo...Thank you for sharing your story with the cyber world. I found your blog accidentally, and as a military wife I feel connected to you, a kinship somehow. The sacrifice your family has made is not forgotten. You sound like a wonderful family! I know your husband would be proud of your strength and perseverance. Please continue to share your story.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645857218422330673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427914240818002464.post-80190549901585150112009-07-28T21:26:05.230-04:002009-07-28T21:26:05.230-04:00Well have fun in Dallas.

David Marron pointed out your post in today's Thunder Run, so of course I had to go back and read the archives. I knew the outcome, but it was still hard to read. There was so much optimism in your voice!<br /><br />But there still is. You recognize what is most important- the fact that you married a man who loved you, your family, and your country with all his heart and soul. You grew together, made it through 2 deployments without incident, and kept your faith through his injury and ultimate death.<br /><br />You amaze me. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you know you'll be in the thoughts and prayers of many today and in the future.AFSisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427914240818002464.post-83608176199024843652009-07-27T12:15:34.326-04:002009-07-27T12:15:34.326-04:00{{{{{{Dena}}}}}}}

However, you are such a strong and brave woman and I know that Rob is watching over you. He feels the same pain you are feeling and I know he wishes he could be here to hold you one more time too. Hold those memories of the past 9 years close to your heart and remember the good times on the 29th. Have fun at the MK conference and smile as much as you can. I'll be praying fo you!<br /><br />Heather in Helena, MTHeathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427914240818002464.post-61477681288810186682009-07-25T14:30:25.626-04:002009-07-25T14:30:25.626-04:00I totally understand what you mean. Each year, we...I totally understand what you mean. Each year, we feel so lucky to celebrate Ryan's, "Alive Day" And, while we look at the date he was injured as a benchmark of how far we have come, saying "Happy Alive Day" just does not roll off the tongue without a little something in your head telling you- 'this is not quite right!' It's kinda like, "Happy Memorial Day" too... <br /><br />So, "Happy Anniversary" without sweet Rob there to celebrate with you? I totally get how you are feeling.<br /><br />That being said, I suppose the "Happy" part of any celebration really talks about recognizing how far you have come, and what wonderful things you have enjoyed in the past. And those two things, you have a lot of.<br /><br />So- in advance- "Happy Anniversary to you". In recognition of everything you two went through in your lives together, and all the happy times that were shared.<br /><br />Thinking of you all the time...<br /><br />xox <br /><br />NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104523771898429145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427914240818002464.post-31121374599104450512009-07-25T08:45:17.706-04:002009-07-25T08:45:17.706-04:00i had to laugh when i read the bit about the thing...i had to laugh when i read the bit about the things rob did to get out of getting you diamonds! i'm sure he's having a bit of a chuckle in heaven. but you should think about getting yourself something special anyway! diamonds... as well as true love... are for forever!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105331987015354522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427914240818002464.post-54860243147799790492009-07-25T00:08:59.528-04:002009-07-25T00:08:59.528-04:00I love you Dena!I love you Dena!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808517443099783655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427914240818002464.post-15235212439828775402009-07-24T20:57:03.124-04:002009-07-24T20:57:03.124-04:00You see, you just said the right things once again...You see, you just said the right things once again!
