Sometimes I fail in what I do and what I do not do. I can maim the
human spirit with unintentional words spoken or written. I am flawed on
many levels, but I truly want to be a better version of Li... read more-
We all have those days where what we intend and what happens are not the same. You do inspire!

We all fail in these areas because we're all human. Having the humility to admit it, and to feel broken about it means your heart is still in the right place.

Your honesty and humility are the very reasons you will succeed and continue to be a "better Linda"! That you acknowledge your weaknesses, embrace them, share them... will allow you to let them go, forgive yourself for your less-than-perfect moments and move on! NONE of us are perfect, and we all say or do something with unintended results. Don't be too hard on yourself!

I speak for all of those names that flash across our TV screens (or used to). Every name was a person who wanted to come home. Every person was loved, had dreams, and had people waiting for them. All of them are missed. I speak for us--I speak for me...I speak for the man who loved me well for 23 years and for the military family that carries me still.

Linda I am so happy you will be able to share your story (and that of you and Phil) with more of America. Good luck with the interviews and God Bless. <3
