“Hey.” Dakota’s voice was gentle with a mix of concern sprinkled in, just enough to bring my eyebrows up into a questioning gaze toward him.
“What is it? Do you have to go work that silly Children’s Fair again this year? You didn’t even meet a single person last year who was interested enough to sign up and …” I saw him shaking his head as his chin dipped to his chest. Worry cut into my thoughts like a sharpened blade through an apple. Knowing the military, knowing his line of work, I dreaded the worst … expected it too. With worry edging my voice and my heart climbing up into my throat, I looked at him. “What is it, Dakota?”
He took a few steps into the bathroom, continuing until he came right up to me. My heart raced as he grabbed hold of both of my hands, smoothing his thumbs over the tops of them. I already felt the weight strapped to my neck of being tossed over the railing of the ship of good times. Before his lips even moved, I knew it. After a moment that felt like eternity passed, he peered up and into my eyes.
“I’m being deployed.”

First and foremost, I want to thank God. God’s salvation through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us all the ability to have a personal relationship with the Creator of the Universe.
I also want to thank my wife. She’s my muse and my inspiration. A wonderful wife, an amazing mother and the best person I have ever met. She’s great and has always stood by me with every decision I have made along life’s way.
I’d like to thank my editors and early readers for helping me along the way. I also want to thank all of my friends and extended family for the support. It’s a true blessing to have every person I know in my life.
