Here are the words that Grayson Rogers wrote for his wife, Kayla, a chief petty officer in the Navy Reserve, as she battled breast cancer. His Facebook post quickly went viral, receiving attention from thousands of people. Here’s the full story:
“This was my beautiful wife this past January getting ready to go in to take her exam for Chief Petty Officer.
She was in between chemo rounds, and fighting fatigue, chemo sickness and chemo brain. When she got home and I asked her how she did, she said “I ᴘʀᴀʏᴇᴅ my way through the exam so it’s all in God’s hands.”
Today, the Navy publicly released the advancement results for Chief Petty Officer and she was selected! For those of you that don’t know, being selected for Chief is a huge milestone in her career.
I am SO proud of her! This year has been a tough one on her, but she never stopped fighting.
She always relied on her faith. She never gave up. She is a true FIGHTER. Congratulations, Chief Select. I’m proud of you and I love you! ♥️”
