Death of a Spouse
My Soulmate
I lost my husband, Mike, 4 weeks ago on Sunday, July 26, 2009 just before the Brickyard 400 very suddenly. We were spending time together going to the souvenir trailers, socializing with the people around us where we park. I was reading a book and he was taking short cat naps before time to head to our seats. We were having the best day, our favorite day of the year to be together just the two of us. The weather was perfect with a cool breeze. As I was reading a book, he was sleeping. He woke up at one point and I can still see his happy face gazing at me. He fell back to sleep and 15 minutes later, I was unable to wake him up to start heading to our seats that we have had for the past 10 years or so. I still can't believe he is gone. It is so surreal. I miss his so very much. It was love at first sight when I met him and has only gotten stronger. We have been together almost 17 years but married for 16 years and two weeks when he passed. Yesterday was his birthday and he would have been 59. I trust that he is at peace now with God.
