I'm Mrs. P and I'm 23. I am a "war widow" but I hate that term, I prefer married to an angel. I am the mommy of a beautiful baby girl, who is growing so fast these days. I am striving to keep my head up and move forward in the face of tragedy. I miss my husband every day but my goal in life is to live to make him proud and one day see him again.
On March 14, 2010, my beloved Mr. P was taken from me while fighting in Operation Enduring Freedom in Marjah, Afghanistan. He is still my absolute rock and without him I would not be the woman I am today. He was and remains an amazing man and a hell of a Marine. He is also a wonderful daddy, even though he never got to meet his baby girl. Instead of awaiting his homecoming, I am now living each day until I meet him again.
Happy 236th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! Woo, you guys sure are getting old, huh? Here's to another 236 good years with the best fighting force in the world!! Oorah and Semper Fidelis!

hi there, i'm new to following you and i just wanted to say (and i know i'm late here) happy veterans day to you as well...your support to your husband while he was deployed was just as important as what he was doing. after all, it was you that kept him going. and what you have done since his passing to preserve his memory for yourself and your daughter and all of us reading your story is very important as well. so i hope you stopped and took a moment to realize that you are someone special too and someone to be remembered with our nations heroes. ~leann

I want to echo what Leann said so beautifully. I was thinking of you and Jonny on Veterans' Day. I am thankful for both of your sacrifices.
