Emails to Chris... Team Miller

This is an email I sent to Chris recently.  Obviously I do not publicly share emails that I send to him but this one I felt was okay to share... shows a lot of the emotional that I have felt the last few days. I cannot explain my gratitude that I have for Team Miller!! "We Frickin' Support out Troops!!"



Hey baby I just wanted to write and tell you a few things and feel free to share with your guys if you want. You have no idea the emotional over load that has hit me the last few days. First, when we decided to run this marathon I never knew the magnitude in which it would reach. Lets start with Team Miller and how many people have come together to order shirts, decided to run, or just come out and in support you, your guys and all of our troops. It is amazing the amount of support we have here at home. We have 2 full marathon runners (me being one of them ... fucckkkk) 4 half marathon runners and six 5K runners!!! Along with countless Team Miller supporters that will be there Sunday morning in their red shirts. To top that off the girls from work have ordered shirts (without me knowing) to wear at work this weekend in support of "Team Miller & our Troops". A few girls had these ordered and Ray Frick himself paid for them in support of our troops and the sacrifices that ALL of you guys make everyday. I literally sobbed the whole way home from work because this is such a wonderful way to support our troops and our family! I was overwhelmed at such a wonderful gesture!!  Frickers, as well as all of the Team Miller supporters thank you guys so much!!  I want you  and all of you guys to know how much you mean to all of us here and how much we support you. Customers asked me repeatedly what the shirts were about and as I fought back the tears I explained our cause and why we are running this weekend.. One told me, " Your husband is the reason I can be drink this beer." And then proceeded to tell me how strong I was here at home. He wanted to make sure that you knew how thankful he was as I think he fought back the tears. Heroes in Action has donated flags and Aunt Kim put together little bags for everyone. I just want you guys to know the support you have here at home. On you hard days, remember the support you have at home. Audrey and I miss you so much but remember how many people are thinking about you and you guys. This weekend will be a long one for everyone but know how many people are coming together for our troops!! I cannot wait to show you all of the pictures!!
I love you... Goodnight.
