Dear Floyd,We have been married, 3 years today. Someone told me recently that in those short, feels like forever sometimes, 3 years we have been through things that people never go through in a lifetime !!!!
Your deployment to Africa was the first obstacle..... You had to go about a month after the wedding and were gone a total of 9 months. People go through this everyday, and I always thought it could be worse!!!! With my friends, family and your family, we made it and actually realized the love we had could make it through anything!!!!
Next was the loss of our little boy!!! We were so fortunate to start talking about getting pregnant and BAM, it happened so fast I think we both went HOLY CRAP! (that is in good terms) And just like that he was taken from us. No warning! But we worked together, again with the support of family and friends and made it through.
Now, probably our biggest challenge, being pregnant again with many complications! Our little girl will be blessed with our love and support, and I can't wait!
Through all of this I have come to learn how much I depend on you, and for me that is hard to say, because I am so independent! You are my rock and I knew it on our first date, that you were the perfect one for me!!!! I love you so much and can't wait to pass up Grandma and Grandpa Nilson's 67 years!!!!!
Yours always,
Jessica
