A Heartfelt Thank You: Gratitude Before Going to War

   

In this week's episode of "A Kickass Love Story," we take a moment to express our heartfelt thank you's to the people who have made a lasting impact on our lives.

As we prepare to embark on the next chapter of our journey, we want to acknowledge the incredible individuals who have supported us along the way.

First and foremost, we want to express our gratitude to all the amazing people who have been a part of our lives.

From family members to wrestling coaches, from friends to mentors, each and every one of you has played a significant role in shaping who we are today. We wouldn't be where we are without your unwavering support and love.

One person who made a profound impact on Paige's life is Ken Shamrock. His words of encouragement and belief in her potential as a fighter changed the course of her life at just 15 years old. Ken's support and mentorship have been instrumental in shaping Paige's career, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

We also want to extend our gratitude to the Massie family, who opened their home and hearts to us when we needed it most. Their unwavering support, from providing a place to stay to helping with wedding preparations, has been nothing short of extraordinary. Their kindness and generosity have left an indelible mark on our lives, and for that, we are truly thankful.

Another individual who has been a pillar of support is Paige's cousin, Danielle. Her dedication and love have been unwavering, from driving 21 hours to watch Paige fight to being there for her during life's toughest moments. Danielle's presence in Paige's life has been a source of strength and comfort, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.

We also want to express our gratitude to the coaches and mentors who have guided us along the way. From high school wrestling coaches to MMA trainers, their wisdom and guidance have been invaluable. In particular, we want to acknowledge Coach Kevin Zimmerman, whose impact on Austin's life has been profound. His mentorship and support have left an enduring impression, and for that, we are deeply thankful.

In addition, we want to thank our financial adviser, Craig Weiss, whose guidance and support have been instrumental in shaping our financial future. His expertise and care have provided us with peace of mind and security, and for that, we are truly appreciative.

Lastly, but certainly not least, we want to express our deepest gratitude to each other. The love, support, and understanding that we have shared have been the foundation of our strength. Through the ups and downs, we have stood by each other's side, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

As we reflect on the incredible individuals who have touched our lives, we are filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Each person has contributed in their own unique way, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. Their love, support, and kindness have been a source of strength and inspiration, and for that, we are truly thankful.

In closing, we want to express our heartfelt thank you to all the amazing individuals who have been a part of our journey. Your love, support, and belief in us have been a source of strength and inspiration. As we prepare to embark on the next chapter of our lives, we carry with us the profound impact of each and every one of you. Thank you for being a part of our story.

With love and gratitude,
Paige and Austin
