I love the man he is...

SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIST OF THE YEAR 2009
-SHANE STRATFORD-

My hubby holds many good qualities worth emulating...two of those qualities are his determination and love of hard work.
2009 has not been the easiest of years for Shane.
While working and going to school full time (which alone is hard enough) he took great care of me after my jaw surgery, feeding me, keeping track of all medications, and keeping me company while I couldn't talk or even give him one little kiss for over 8 weeks.
Soon after that tough time, Shane endured a much greater trial. During those 4 long weeks he never complained, and always kept his chin held high, looking forward to the day when he could return to work. Striving to keep his memory secure, he worked harder than ever to be the best surgical technologist he could. Despite all odds, Shane did just that. He exceeded the goal, just as he always has.
How blessed we both are Shane!
Thank you Moms and Dads for supporting and helping us through the thick and tear filled days...we owe many of our smiles to you.
Dad & Mom Stratford, Shane & Kenzie, Mom & Dad Ferguson

Shane sometimes I look at you and can't believe you are mine.
ALL MINE.
I love you to the stars and back...a million times!
all my love, xoxo

Congratulations to you, Shane, for earning (and deserving) such an amazing award! That says a lot about the kind of person you are. You are, indeed, a hard worker. You are also a man of integrity and one people enjoy being around because you are so kind. Kenzie is very lucky to have found the perfect person for her. You two were meant for each other. I see this more and more as time goes on; and my family is so blessed to be a part of your lives. You are both so wonderful. :)
