Homesick...
One morning at breakfast before deployment...
Packing... Gosh I love that face... He always loved when I said gosh..... he said it always made him smile... that wonderful amazing smile I miss so much.. the one I heard on his face and saw all the time..
On a train in Chicago after getting married...
A picture he sent me while he was still on his way to Afghanistan.. He loved sending me random pictures and stealing my phone when I wasn't in the room and taking pictures of himself...
Ryley and I were married March 12, 2011 in IL. After I flew back home to Oregon and he flew to NC for FMTB training. Ryley was a FMF Navy Corpsman and needed to do his training with the Marines. While there he was filling out tons of paperwork so we could really get our life together started. While he was in CA doing pre-deployment training in June I moved to NC and got our apartment and started to get things settled for when he got home. He was home for 1 1/2 weeks before deployment to Afghanistan... I never thought that July 13th would have been the last time I saw him, August 11th I received the news that he lost his life while doing his job... I love him with all my heart and miss him more than I could ever put into words... welcome to my crazy life...
