One year has passed since you left us. I will always remember you. I will always wonder if there was something I could have done different that day in Baghdad to help save your life so you could return home to your family, as I have. You arrived into the Emergency room without a heartbeat and that is where I met you. We worked so hard to save your life. I will always ask myself WHY! WHY! WHY! Time will pass but you will never be forgotten by those that know and love you. Rest in peace.
