Today was pretty normal for us. Tori went to school, her picture day was today. Travis and I ran some errands and we spent the rest of our time on the computers. Travis is such a strong guy. He never makes any excuses. Brain surgery hardly slowed him down. Hours after his surgery he was […]

The list goes on and on. I am going to write more about him but this man does not deserve to wait. I can’t imagine getting through all of this without the guidance and support of Travis’s flight surgeon. I am going to call him “Doc” for privacy reasons…..I am not sure how he would […]
