I've been wanting to write this for a while but either haven't found the time or the words. I really need to say thank you to this AMAZING woman named Katie Wade.
Katie lost her husband Chad to the war in Afghanistan on Dec 1, 2010. I couldn't ever imagine losing Kyle. She has a blog that I read pretty often. (http://katieandchadwade.blogspot.com) I swear she needs to write a book. I would wear that book out reading it so much. Without even knowing it Katie has taught me so much about life and love.
Katie wrote in one of her blog posts "I'm living the life of a war widow." This isn't the life she asked for. She expected her husband home. Not to be having Marines show up at her door telling her that her husband was not coming home. I read her blogs and her facebook. She only wants one thing. Her husband home. Not all the money and material things that most of us want. One person. Her heart, her hero, Her husband Chad. If you took one look at the pictures of her and Chad you would see how in love they are. You can just see it in their eyes. They were meant for each other. Soulmates.
So Katie Wade. Thank you. Thank you for teaching me that people are important not possessions. And how to love my future husband. If I could bring Chad back to you I would. You are the most amazing person ever. Chad is a Hero and always will be.
