Keri,

I was devastated to hear of your loss. Over the years I've spent time
in the fine company of you and Angie at DLV and found you both to be
great examples of why I love the event. The joy she found in life and
her appreciation of what our comunity means and brings to each of us
resonated with me, and others as well. It was obvious to anyone who paid
attention that your relationship was a beautiful thing and each one of
you benefited from the other. That kind of loss is one of the terrible
outcomes of love and when it happens so early in life and with no
expectations, it can be even worse. My wife passed away about a year ago
and I understand how empty your world must feel now. Fortunately love
can preserve us as well as make us cry and feel so very empty. I hope
the strength of her love will persist and help you in the coming months
and years as you heal and grow strong once again.

Sarah

My Loss of Angie

Thank you for the kind words Sarah. Angie was very proud of our
community, before I met her she was very active in the Sacramento area.

Ang had SRS at the age of 60, she went her whole life being miserable
until then and vowed to be happy no matter what it took. She then moved
up to Washington in a very remote part of the state.

At about this time we met at a mutual friends house. I was a person that
was always guarded going out in public, she lived it. The night we met
she came in and watched me transform, she was amazed with how I did
makeup, I was flattered she thought that as she was beautiful.

It was love at first sight, we were inseparable from that day in 2002.
She gave me the confidence to walk in anywhere like I owned the place. I
gave her the happiness to fill the loneliness she was experiencing.
Later when I did surgeries she took care of me, I don't think I would
have survived that without her strength.

Angie met my son at the age of 3, she treated Cole as her own; this gave
her the other dimension that she craved so much. The hardest thing I had
to do three weeks ago was sit Cole down at the age of 14 and explain to
him how Angie was not in our lives anymore, devastated him.

Angie was 72, very few people knew that, there was 20 years separating
us, very few people knew that. Age never mattered to us as our love was
timeless. But the age difference did matter to me for one reason only, I
was always scared that this time would come; that I would be alone
without her, that she would leave me too early. I never thought it would
happen on a Saturday morning after saying good morning to each other.

I appreciate you noticing that bond we had. We did everything together
and just really enjoyed each others company. I still miss her so much
everyday but we met each other for a reason. We gave each other what we
needed and craved, we both thrived.

A family member told me what they observed lately. They said Angie
stated last year that I would be ok alone someday as she distilled into
me all the happiness and confidence I needed to carry on without her.
That was a wonderful realization to hear but I don't want to be alone
without her in my life.

We had such a wonderful life together, I wouldn't have traded those 12
years for anything. We will be together again someday and that makes me
smile.

Thank you for the email!
