Brian and I met in the middle of a bad snow storm, in the middle of the night(like 2 a.m.), snow was up to my knees, I was freezing, could barely walk cause the snow, was so deep, and it was still coming down like sheets of white, I can still smell the air, and how the snow glistened and sparkled, as it was very quiet cause no one was supposed to be out on the roads.. around the curve he came, just a barreling down through wellington Heights, stopped and offered me a ride. I thought he was someone else walked up and said "Sorry thought you was someone else.." he laughed and said the same thing and offered me a ride, I said no, cause he was a "stranger", lol I hurried back to the side walk, he drove a lil ways stopping and waited for me at stop sign. He offered one more time, and it was a long walk after 12 hrs shift, so I hoped in... I will never forget the convoy we had, still hear him chuckle and smile as he turns the corner... He asked if I just got done working, I said yes, I was heading home.... He said yea, I`my working, ALL night long, and just smiled and laughed!!! I had no clue what he meant at that time....

This is something you find in fairytale, and romance novels , but we had. Our ups and our downs, our good times and our bad times, from struggling to make ends meet, to being homeless and staying in lil rusty red last winter, (I wouldn't trade it for the world). From rides on the back of the Suzuki, that I will forever hold in my heart, I loved that bike, it was everything to hop on the back, and wrap my arms around you, and lay my head on your back, knowing I was safe with you as we peg 100 MPhil on 465, with sun baring down on us, to him loosing his mobility last winter, and having to pack and move with the help of April and Dewy, you guys were my life saver more occasion than one back then, lol,to Him and His love of milk, he could drink a gallon in 2 mins or less, and His Big bowl of candy he always walked around with. He was always trying to help someone, even though we we homeless, or didn't have food or money, if you needed it, he would try and help any way he could, his skills in the garage truly amazed me, left me in amaze to watch him transform a pile of junk, into the fastest street bike in the neighborhood, and even if it's sounded just lil off, it wasn't good enough, it had to be just right. To take his carbs, and a tiny tiny brush and hand me one and say, "Here get to work, you're gonna learn!!" Lol
To the 6weeks, 5 major surgeries, life support, ventilator, the Whipple, colostomy, feeding tubes, to the Constanta gone of the pain that man was in, to watch throw up and vomit over and over and over, several times a day him literaly starve to death as the cancer wrapped around his Pancreas and stomach, sitting on the side of the bed, your stool under your feet, one hand cupped in the other and slightly rock back and fourth as this was the only way you could sleep.. the blockage of scare tissue from the mass they removed is what they couldn't fix, no operation, no chemo, nothing would make it better, or make it go way. To hear" THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP!!!" Are the worse words (the devil), you could possibly hear, and it's like " I know I heard them but this isn't really, you gotta be able to fix this, this is a dream, or a joke, someone's playing games, and need. To stop... wake me up from this awful dream, it's time to wake up now, cmon, it isn't real.... I wasn't ready, I thought you would just take a nap, and get up and want to be outside in the garage or out running the streets, it happened way to quick.... I can only hope that you know How very much I love you and always will, I can only hope that I took good enough care of you, I hope I made you proud, and I I know right now I am lost, and alone, and confused of what I am suppose to do, but I hope I can make you proud of me, I will do my best in everything, and I will do my best to honor your wishes you left here for me to see too... You said you would protect me and guide me, as much as you can, and I know you are, I can feel you with me, even more now than before, we are so very close now, I can feel you wrap around me, and. Hold my head to your chest in my safe place... you arms... you are my world, my everything, and I hope to make you proud baby, I love you.........more!!!!
Always and Forever Your Sweet LuLu
