25 Years & It Felt Like Yesterday

I look forward to my new chapter in 2023 as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Consultant.

So many people talk about the sacrifices military spouses and children make for their service member. This guy willingly sacrificed, pushing it through 30 years and six months for Mac to have end to end medical, therapy and quality special education services for as long as the Marine Corps would allow him. I am proud and eternally grateful to call him my best friend and first and only husband.
I read this story and immediately thought of Mac. This college graduate valedictorian was taught to type. Our Mac was never taught, he just did. Our Mac was never taught to read, he just did. Elizabeth demonstrates what we know is inside of Mac all of the time, a person who has a lot say, but just has to do it by other means.
Damon asked me who I wanted to escort me for his retirement ceremony. I considered the usual options and decided to make that moment come full circle. My escort will be a replica of who I fell in love with, a dark-haired male Flight Equipment Lance Corporal.
Mac loves Jerry Seinfeld! He celebrated with The Bee Movie at age 2 and now Seinfeld at age 15!
