Every time he comes home off deployment, it is a relief. It is really hard for me and our daughter when he is away. It was a great big weight off my shoulders when he got off the plane.

After the last deployment, when the suicide bomber hit his boat, it makes you realize the dangers that are out there. I was a little more nervous when he went back over there. You have to put your faith to the forefront and then I knew he would be okay and get home safe to those who miss him the most.
