Person’s Story

Before we started dating we met 10 years prior. My niece and husband at the time introduced us again. We dated for 4 years before he finally proposed to me in the mountains on his birthday.with a ring from the souvenir shop. The place was called pretty place. An open chapel where u can see the view of the mountains. We bought a motorcycle and took it everywhere. It became our passion. We became members of a bike group called shadow riders of America. I remember one trip to Florida. It rained all the way down. We got soaked. Another trip was to tail of the dragon in the mountains. We had a Christmas wedding with a biker themed reception. That day was the greatest day of my life. 6 weeks later leaving his best friends birthday party he was heading home n someone pulled out n killed him. 6 weeks was not a long enough marriage. I came across the wreck cause it was only 2 minutes from the house. I heard the sirens from the front porch. I headed to the hospital n they said he was brain dead. After 24 hours, it was the hardest thing in my life to have to turn the machines off n let him go. So feb 3rd 2016 was when my soul n heart died also. He was a great man. He was hard working, lovable and kind. He would give u the shirt off his back. He loved me and his granddaughter. He loved to fish and camp and rebuild bikes. He was a great stepfather to my son toby. This man was my life ,heart and soul. He was my best friend and partner in crime. He was a clown. He could make u laugh at anything. He had love for his mama greatly. There r so may things that was left unsaid that I wished I had said. That I loved him very much and regret all the fighting we did and that I wish he was still here with me. But this man could n never will be replaced. There is a whole in my heart that will never be filled. The poem for the paper: A year ago today God called u away. This year has been rough, 6 weeks was not long enough. When they told me there was no hope, I told them nope. That this was a joke. I thought they were wrong n tried to stay strong. When u couldn't fight no more I just fell to the floor. I remember when I came across the crash, I didn't see u n just knew. This can't be it, this can't be legit. I miss your laugh that can't be heard in a photograph. But u had to go and with my heart in tow. I will always love u my husband til my last breath. Hope this can give u something bout my husband and our story. Oh yeah his favorite word was whatever. Kind of a signature word in my family now. Thanks sawyer for all u do for your family.
