Today I am thankful for sacrifice.
37 years ago today, the world lost a father, husband, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend.David's dad was killed in the line of duty as a police officer in Greensboro, NC after responding to a suspicious subject call. David was 8 days shy of turning a year old.
Over the 16+ years David and I have been together, Valentine's Day has come to mean something so much more than a Hallmark holiday. It is a day to remember the sacrifice one father gave to protect his community (and, in a greater sense, his family).

<3 Heaven gained another angel this day
Thank you, Jesus, for your sacrifice on the cross - one day I will finally get to meet my father-in-law because of Your sacrifice for my sins.
