I’m so glad you found each other and even more so that you were able to share so many wonderful times together. Losing someone you love that much is always so hard. I’m glad his memory is such a blessing to you. Keep sharing your stories, they are a gift.

We all know him through you! I love the saying, we are still here as long as one person remembers that we lived.

LOVED your story---the way he said "hey baby" at your FIRST meeting, I'm sure you were thinking "wowww!" hee hee .....but then he turned out to be such a great guy! I'd love to hear more stories! Ugh, I wish you'd had many more years together, too!!! I am sending you many, many (( hugs ))

You have such a beautiful story to share, and to remember, for the rest of your life. I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounds like an amazing soul.

Thank you all so much. I was so fortunate to share 12 years with him. He often said that he wished that we had met earlier in our lives and I told him that we never would have worked when I was younger...I know we met at the right time but we didn’t get enough time, for sure.
I sent a text to his youngest brother today telling him that it was the day we met in 2007. His response was “it seems like you were with him forever”. I told him that I took that as a compliment. His family embraced me from the start. The first time that I met many of them I learned that he had shared a crazy (but completely true) story with his Mom about how he stirred mimosas with his penis when we were away one weekend. I was shocked that he had told his Mom and that everyone knew the story! He never stopped surprising me, right up until 20 minutes before he died.
As my sister said yesterday, we completed each other. My life is so much better because of the years I spent with him.

What a beautiful tribute to your late husband Kellee. You write beautifully. I wonder if you've considered submitting any of your writings for publication... You’re too kind. My BA is in English and Journalism. I’ve never earned a nickel writing. I have worked in the defense industry since 1985.

I have heard some of the story of your meeting before, such as his famous line that you had never met a guy like him before. I didn't know about the "Hey baby" part! OMG - so glad you chose to overlook that zinger! Big (((hugs))) to you today.
