I’m not very consistent on posting for our business page, but over the last weeks it’s been for a different reason.
On April 13th we suffered the biggest loss I could have ever imagined. My husband and best friend, my children’s father, and Deb and Les’s oldest son was lost suddenly in a tragic accident.
Justin lived a passionate life. He had a wagyu steak once and now I sit here on my back porch watching a herd of beef cattle graze in our pasture.
Justin loved Jesus; and that’s who he’s with right now, no doubt. I’ll see him again, this I know.
Justin always hung up the phone with “I love you”. Not just with me, but with his parents and all of his family members. He said he had a friend die in high school and it made him realize you never know what moment is going to be your last- so he always said it no matter what.
If you can imagine that you lose your spouse tomorrow and you aren’t sure if they would know how you felt about them- please tell them. I know Justin knows how much I loved him but I wish I had had the chance to tell him one more time. Not just “I love you”, I love how funny you were, how strong your character was, how big you loved our kids. How smart and thoughtful you were, how loving you were to anyone who needed your help.
Lastly Justin loved Jesus. I’ve lost track of how many messages I’ve gotten from people I never met, telling me that Justin had had long conversations with them about his faith. I’m so grateful he had accepted Jesus’ free gift of salvation and is now with Him in heaven.
I was so lucky to have him as my husband ❤️
