Today we received some sad news .. a dear friend of ours passed away unexpectedly this morning. Kevin had just turned 45 on December 17. Kevin had been suffering with severe headaches for several years. His wife said he had been having them more often and more severe and had been up most of the night with one. When she got up this morning she found him dead. Our hearts are heavy with sadness as we will miss our dear friend. Kevin was a great person to be around, he was lots of fun and made everyone around him laugh, he had a heart that was so huge and would help anyone in need. Kevin was our neighbor for many years and we raised our kids together. He was more like family. We are sadden that we are so far away and can not attend his service. Please remember his wife and family in your prayers.
I got the phone call around 11 AM and after that i just couldn’t bring myself to do much as our hearts are very heavy. I am so thankful that hubby and I are getting to enjoy our time traveling as our friend Kevin and his wife Jeanette wanted to travel so much. By the time they got their dream truck and 5th wheel Kevin had come down sick with COPD. He was doing better and looked like they may get to travel .. now that dream will never come true for him.
Times like this make you really appreciate what you have and are getting to do with your life. We think we have it ruff at times but there is always someone who is suffering more then you. I can’t and do not ever want to go through what my dear friend Jeanette is. Losing your soul mate and the love of your life can not be easy. Jeanette is going to need her family more then ever as Kevin was her world just as hubby is mine. He was her rock, her strength, her silver lining.
We need to always remember that we should cherish today and we do not know what tomorrow may bring. It’s horrible to lose a loved one but it’s esp hard this close to the holiday. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with Jeanette and her family.
