"Conner calls Arlington heaven, so he's obviously a little confused with what's going on. But if he wants to think that this is heaven, that's fine. This is where daddy is and I tell him daddy's in heaven. So, it makes sense." - Nicki Bunting, wife of fallen Soldier, Captain Brian "Bubba" Bunting, and mom of Conner and Cooper. Here's the link to the story on CBS News. ..."At the time he was killed we didn't know we were pregnant," Nicki says. "Four days after I was notified of his death is when I found out that we were pregnant - so it was just such a miracle. It was the best news I could have ever received." Nicki says Cooper actually took his first step at his father's grave. Nicki says he put his hand on the gravestone, "And then he just stepped. Uh-huh. It was amazing. It was remarkable. I couldn't believe it." Connor, 4, is old enough to have some memory of this father, and seems to understand what this place means... And not surprisingly, Nicki Bunting was Spouse of the Year, too.
