    If I pass before my husband, I pray he finds a similar path. Between the horrific abuse he suffered in his childhood and the time in the military he spent in combat, now 50 - 60 years later, his PTSD still causes him to suffer from nightmares and depression. He doesn't even want to admit he has PTSD. All I can do is love and support him.

Change a baby's diaper / he had 4 children , build houses / he did that in the 1940's to put himself through college, restored a sunken sailboat and took us sailing ! Never met a man as talented as my dad! Miss you dad! RIP and in the tradition if the US Navy I am wishing you a Happy Voyage Home! GO NAVY! ⚓⛵⚓🌊

Pops & I would work on all sorts of projects together. He had a kinder heart and such a lively spirit. So neat to see someone else in this world who seems kind & enjoys others company. Pops would tell me stories of His time working on a Navy Ship. He didn't have a fancy assignment assignment. But he served our country. I was honored he chose me to love and mentor. Thank you for Your Service Sir. Blessings to you each day. Your story is a joyful one to watch.
