Thanks, malaise.

The day their lives changed forever

They're my favorite couple. Hollywood has nothing to compare!

Their lives were dramatically changed in an instant

a great big ol' hug.

I usually don't and I live about a mile from that shopping center where she was shot 2 yrs ago. I would have loved to go and shake her hand, tell her that she's a hero to me and thank her for her service to this country. and I'd shake Mark's hand too. The struggles he must have....

He clearly loves his wife

thanks malaise

speaks volumes.
