just wanted to let all my knife buddies know i lost my darling wife about 5 weeks ago to pneaumonia, its just getting to the point now i can write about it, we were together for 29 yrs, 1 son, 15 yrs old, i still just cant believe it, i thought things got better with time, not so for me it doesnt seem like, she was just too young, 46, and i'm still just stunned. but thought i should post as some of ya have met becky and I at shows/etc thru the yrs, and would want to know.
she was absolutely without a doubt the finest lady on the planet, she did anything and everything for me, if i liked it she did too, football, hunting, knives, guns, cars, racing, you name it, anything, always worried about me, and making me happy, and our son of course. the perfect wife, in all respects, blonde, big blue eyes, still wore the same clothes she wore in high school, looked 10 yrs younger than her age, wayy too good of a lady for me, but i lucked out, to say the least. and just the sweetest thing, she would do anything for her family and friends, but i always came first, she would always take my side in any arguement, as long as it wasnt with her lol, then i wasnt always right.but just the kindest gentlest soul i have ever known, she really mellowed me out thru the yrs, stood by me, encouraged me, soothed me, nursed me, cried with me, she was my partner in all respects. we were the rare couple who didnt even argue very often, and we never went to sleep without settling the dispute, and making up, not ever. she even read knife and gun mags, and could ID them in movies and stuff as good as me, lol, like i said anything i liked she did too.
i guess its true its better to have had true love and lost it vs never having it at all, but darn it it still hurts so very badly. i just feel lost, plain and simple, but i have to "man up" and take care of my son, he's been a real man about the whole thing, and is gonna be ok, of course he's hurt too, we both are.
they say time heals, and maybe so, but it sure hasnt helped me any yet. part of me died the morning she did, i'll never be the same again, not ever, i was the luckiest man alive imho for almost 30 yrs i wish more than anything we coulda grown old together, i guess some things just arent meant to be.....i was a lucky man though as not many ever find their one true love, their soulmate, their angel, and i do thank the lord for that.
with a heavy heart,
greg
