She said she didn't want to grow up and do nothing.

I was diagnosed with cervical cancer when Leanne was at boot camp.

She is funny, beautiful, and very loving. We are the best of friends. She is a good kid. I miss her a lot.

It's so overly emotional. The feelings are so mixed. You want to be mad at somebody for them being over there. Then there is the pride and love that I have for her that is so enormous.

It was the toughest time in her life. At times she was sad, and at times she was happy.

I thought I knew my daughter ? until she joined the Army.
