My Sweet Prince SPC. William J. Laporte

I found my prince charming..He is the best husband any woman would be proud to have. I am very lucky and loved. He is my hero, my hero doesn't wear a cape, he wears combat boots. He is the half that makes me whole, and he loves me unconditionally even through my darkest days. He is an awesome Dad, and his babygirl cries whenever he is gone for days or weeks at a time, she has bad dreams, but as soon as Daddy gets home she is back to her normal ornery self..He is my safe harbor..My Army wife friends always tell their husbands "Why can't you be like Laporte", he spends all his time with his family and is family oriented, and they tell me how lucky I am to have found a man like him in a world full of chaos, hurt and pain. And they are all right. We are Muskateers, "All for one, and one for all". He learned from the best, I could not tell you enough how lucky I am to have the family I have beside me.They stand by me and make me feel like there isn't anything I can't face. And yes that is all of you. I have the best in-laws anyone could ask for, except they are not in-laws to me, they are my Mom, Dad, Sister and neice and nephews..And they are my support system, even when I get crazy sometimes. They love me unconditionally and make me feel like I am special and they took us in as one of them..Know you are all loved and special to us and no one could ever take your places in our hearts..Well love everyone and I'll write more tomorrow...

Come home soon!!!!

I think shedaisy has it right in their song Please come home soon. I sleep alone, i cry alone and it's so hard living here on my own. Our house is not a home without you in it..I know we're together even though we are far apart..But I have faith to light the darkened sky..You and the family surround me on the walls and shelves. You are all my saving grace in these crazy times. And I shouldn't have to name you all, you definetly know who you are..God has blessed me with a wonderful,sometimes tragic, crazy family...And for that I am grateful..You are all most appreciated..And Dad(Laporte) your son is just like you and you know what that is what I always count on, you are strong, courageous and humble, and you came home safe because of your will to live and allow others to live.Your Fairy loves you more than you will ever know and you helped me to be stronger in this fight.

The life of a soldier's wife.

I never knew heartache until I watch my soldier walk out the door. I always want to call him back for just one more kiss, hug and another I love you. You never know if it will be the last time you see him, and you want to make sure he knows how much he means to you.It feels like half of me is gone and that it is all just a dream you'll wake up from. You suffer from sleep deprivation, you seem like your in robot mode day in and day out. Sure you have family and friends but it's not the same.I sleep with his shirt or whatever has his smell on it.Our daughter wakes up and cries in her sleep. But deep in my heart I am one of the strongest, proudest women you will ever know. I am strong for my husband so he comes home safe, and even when things aren't going good I still tell him everything is okay. And pride,yeah I am very proud to be his wife and I am proud of what he stands for, a better tomorrow for all.When he is home I watch his every move and count all his steps as he leaves,they are my memories that I keep for rainy days, which lately has been alot. With him I am everything, without him I am nothing...I love you SPC. William Joseph Laporte, you are my past, present and future. And I thank you for being my saving grace in a world of chaos and hurt.
