Before I leave for Turkey I have to say the biggest thank you to Emma. Before we started to date a couple years ago, I made the statement that we wouldn’t date unless I could see myself marrying her, and that I would have to know that she would not only “be okay” with me going abroad, but that we would be a unified front and hopefully going together someday.  While that day is not today, she has been a champ with the planning of me being gone and her taking care of Annie without me for six days, with her birthday falling during this trip.

Emma, thank you for your companionship, partnership, and unending support. I love you.
