As always at this time of year I will make my post dedicated to my first love. He will be gone from this world 13 years on Memorial Day Monday. Even though we had our problems when we were married he'll always be my first love .
We were married in High school and had a beautiful baby girl in the fall of that year. Life was tough being new parents as well as teenagers and Newlyweds at the same time.
My heart always gets heavy this time of year when I look at all that he was so tragically cheated out of when his truck veered off the road and took down that light pole. The pain of having to tell my child her Dad was no longer with us is still as fresh as if it happened yesterday. Ashley always has a rough time this time of year. We deal with Memorial Day being the anniversary of her Dads death then shortly followed by his birthday on the 3rd of June then fathers day comes along so yeah it's not the happiest time of year for her.
I guess time makes the pain easier but still he holds a very special place in my heart and I miss his funny sense of humor . Ashley continues to remind me more and more of her Dad with each passing day. This year she turns 21 and she reminds me so much of the way he was at that age.
Life is hard but I thank God he has allowed me to survive so many hardships and continue to have the privlege of watching my children grow , we just never know what the future holds for us.
I miss ya Slick!
