How one woman used #running to help survive the loss of her husband and raise two boys on her own.
I went to bed that night and could not sleep. I had butterflies in my stomach and thought about Gordie all night long. I had never experienced something like this after meeting a guy for the first time. I just had a feeling about him. Brenda, Jane, and I went to Sacramento the next day for the rest of the weekend. I continued to think about Gordie all weekend. Would he call me? #soulmate #meetingmrright #futurehusband #loveatfirstsight
The drive home from work was beautiful. It was a sunny Friday afternoon in March and I was full of excitement for a great weekend with the boys and Gordie. Tomorrow was the first day of practice for Nathan’s little league team on which Gordie was to be one of the Assistant Coaches. It would be his first time coaching baseball for one of our sons. The weather was suppose to be nice all weekend. I thought maybe we’ll take a walk this weekend, maybe Nathan can even ride his bike while we push Wyatt in his toy car. Maybe we’ll get pizza tonight after Gordie finishes working on his remodeling project at my parents’ house. Maybe we’ll watch one of the episodes of “The Firm” that we had recorded after the boys go to bed. I did not realize that my life was just minutes from changing forever. #running, #grief, #suddendeath, #intheblinkofaneye
