PERSISTENCE
Photos
Submitted by Melissa Amos
My daughter, her husband and newborn baby. My daughter, Jessica, was determined to have her baby before her husband, Matt, would ship out on the cruiser Ronald Reagan. She made it! January 1, 2005 Georgia Porter was born! Her husband, Matt shipped out the next day to the Gulf. It was wonderful and very sad at the same time.

And with that thought she gets her strength and her confidence. Here's to her dad and all the dads who take the time to be one!
