Good to hear I'm not the only one crying after reading this... Thank you for sharing this even with us who didn't know you before.
A beautiful tribute. So heartfelt and well said. Hugs!!
You and your boys are in my thoughts and prayers Carrie. I am so glad that you have them and I am so glad that you found love and you were able to love so purely; you made each others' lives better - a gift to be sure. Please take care.
I don't know how long I've been reading your blog, but long enough to watch a deck be built and experience your family trips to the lake-near property. The love and joy in those family goodness posts were heartwarming.
My reaction to your DH's death matched Kristen's down to every F. That was not supposed to happen.
I wish you didn't have to be so strong, and that the goodness could continue as it was when you were a quartet.
Carrie, I'm so sorry this loss has come into your life. He sounded like a wonderful person and an exceptional Husband and Father. You and your kids are in my thoughts and I'm hoping for the best.
*HUGS*
I wasn't expecting this. I'm seriously shocked, and IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR. I have to go hug my husband now.
Just beautiful, Carrie. Everyone should be loved so.
xoxo hugs and more..
Carrie, thank you so much for sharing this little bit of Rick with us. I am touched and send much love to you all. That is a beautiful photo...
Thank you for sharing part of Rick with us in such a beautiful tribute. I'm happy you had your time together but am so sorry he's gone so quickly.
I hope you and the boys are finding a way to cope with your loss. You're in my thoughts daily. This was a very lovely and loving tribute. Take care of yourself and know we're thinking of you.
That is a wonderful tribute. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. It is a very touching and loving tribute to your lives together.
What a loving tribute. You were very lucky to have had each other and I'm sorry he had to leave you so soon. Thank you for sharing with us.
there are the official obituaries and then there are the real ones. This was beautiful - I feel like I know him through your words (and am crying enough to believe that I actually do).
Thank you for sharing your friend and your love with us.
This is such a loving tribute, Carrie. Although it was much too brief, I see the love, and am glad it was yours.
Please know I'm crying WITH you right now.
You have really put our lives into prospective.
I would hug you if I could.

Well (and lovingly) said.
Life is never fair, but hang onto the joy of having found him at all, and the shared joy of having your sons.
You and the boys are in my thoughts daily. Take care, sweetie.
this is such a beautiful tribute. i'm all teary eyed and even though i've never met the man, you have me missing him.
And now with the crying again. Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm thinking about you all the time.
It isn't fair that you lost him so soon.
I am sure that he appreciates this loving tribute.
Well done, Carrie. I wish I could have known him.
That was wonderful Carrie, very touching and made me want to cry. You and the boys have been in my thoughts and prayers
He sounds like a wonderful husband, father, son and friend while still being a guy. I'm just so sorry
ay, Carrie. He's a wonderful man. thanks for sharing a few of the things that made him so. may healing find your heart when it can.
You were lucky to have found each other, Carrie. Most people don't know that kind of love. I wish he could have stayed with you longer and seen the boys grow up, but he's watching over all of you now.

Sigh. He was a very special person. My heart still aches for you and I think of you and your boys every day.
What a sweet tribute to an obviously wonderful man. I'm so sorry that you had to lose him so soon.
My whole family is thinking of yours. My heart is really going out to you and your boys, and Rick's girls too. I'm so sorry, and you wrote him a really beautiful tribute here. Thanks for sharing it.
I just wanna hug you!
Such a beautiful post and a wonderful photo- made me well up. Been thinking about you and the boys a lot. I am so sorry he had to leave you and this world so early.
I hope it helped a bit to share your love with us. He was a terrific guy. You will see him everyday in the eyes and spirits of your children. I wish I could bring a dish and sit and hold your hand. You have been in my prayers and will remain there.
Sweet Carrie. So beautifully expressed and yes, with such incredible grace. It brought out the laughter and tears, and an enormous love and respect that came from deep, deeper than the bones, you might say, for this man, your beloved best friend. Love you. xoxox
