In May of 2011 I got to celebrate with my wife as she graduated nursing school. In August 2011, we celebrated together as a family with the purchase of our own home. On July 16, 2012, we welcomed a second blessing into our lives, our youngest daughter, Emily Faith. We experienced a very devastating tragedy on December 26, 2013 as a family. On this date my mother passed away from lung cancer, which she had been battling for 2-3 years prior to this date. I knew I could make it through this very sad time in our lives with the support of my wife. My family is the biggest and greatest blessing to me and for this I will always be
