I know it won't sound inspiring at first, but it is. My husband PFC Rueben Gideon Kirk III (Skip) gave his life defending our country Jan 29,1991. We were young and I thought my life was over. I mourned just as much for the life we would've had as I did for the life we shared. The what if's were probably harder to deal with than 50 years of happy memories that many get to share before dealing with a loss. But I'm writing to tell you that life does eventually go on (for me it took over 10 years). I have a wonderful loving husband. We have 4 beautiful children and God has blessed us beyond words. I hope this helps anyone who has to go through this suffering, to know that there is life afterwards, even if it doesn't seem that way for a very long time.
