Status Updates From If I Don't Return: A Father...

"I hope you'll find this book more than a journal of a war long past. Instead, see it as a testament to growth through experience, to friends who gave more than they asked for in return, and to the potential all of us have for reflecting on our past.
May you be as blessed as I was when you reflect on your own journey."

Dangit, I'm already misty at the dedication page.

"my first and forever friend" is such a beautiful way of referring to one's spouse.
