I think my most cherished memory is while you were sick, that you always knew if you wanted anything, and I mean anything, you knew you could count on me. I could never tell you how much that meant to me....it's very funny how much little things like that will mean later. It may sound silly, but I enjoyed getting you Pepsi, frosties, pudding etc., believe me I would have carried anything in there you wanted and I think I did carry everything in there you mentioned,and soe of them got me in trouble LOL. I thank you and God for that opportunity. I Love You
Also, being able to watch Kristi take care of you was the most wonderful thing in the world, yes it was tough on everyone,especially You and Kristi, but seeing the Love and the bond you had was just amazing. When Kristi got down, I kept telling her even though these times were very emotional and physically draining, that she would thank God that she had the opportunity and just how beautiful a thing it really was. It was the most awesome thing to see and be apart of....People would ask me how hard it was on me not having Kristi and stuff, and I'd just tell them how blessed I was to see the whole experience,and to have a wife that loving and caring. I think losing you was very very bad, but the experience of losing you brought some of the most cherished moments and memories. they say true love has no boundaries, and now I have seen it firsthand. I am very thankful that I was able to be in your life through the bad times and the good times.
I snapped a few pictures of Kristi at your bedside just petting you and loving you in your last few hours, and to this day Fred still falls apart when he sees them. And it is because the same reason I said before.....to see that kind of love is just a blessing and it hits you very hard in the heart, he told me he was amazed at how strong Kristi was, and how much she loved you,and that this amazing love gave her strength like she didn't realize she had.
It was just an amazingly beautiful thing to see,and it was at such a hard time. But it's the actions of people at these times that really shows you how they feel. You are two peas in a pod for sure. And I am very blessed to have her.
