Seeing the thread about Noodles wife reminded me of the day I lost my wife. 2-3-2012 started like any other day, it got really good when my boy who was only 5 months old at the time reached out for his mama for the first time. But around 3:55 that afternoon she started having an asthma attack.
For the next 30 minutes I watched my wife fight an invisible monster. I listened as she gasped for air begging me to help her breath. we waited on an ambulance that arrived 5 minutes too late.
I miss her but I have grown from that experience. I remember coming on BGN asking yall to pray for me and my son. Alot of you did. This BGN board reminds me of family. We don't always agree with each other, hell more often than not we desagree but we dont let others talk about us.
If I were in a bar in Starkville and I saw anyone messing with you I'd have your back in a heartbeat. Family does that kind of stuff..
As for me, my life is back on track. I am in school and I have a new woman in my life. She is a widow with two daughters and gets the ins and outs of my daily battles with grief. My son is a tall 4 year old, full of smiles. I also started a group on Facebook for people who've lost a spouse. We have well over 4,000 members now and last year we had our first ever get together in Gatlinburg Tn.
Adversity builds character, but it also helps alot having good prayer warriors in your corner. God Bless You All and Happy New Year.
