How do I even begin to describe this? Last month, I tragically lost my husband and son while they were driving home from the beach. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine losing my high school sweetheart and my son all at the same time. It just doesn’t seem real. Everyone says, “You have to be strong for your daughter,” but how can I be? As I lay here in bed with her, she still doesn’t realize that her brother and daddy won’t be coming home. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom since I was 23, and all I have ever done is cook, clean, and do laundry. I didn’t work after college, and now we are on the verge of losing our home.
Dan and I didn’t have life insurance; we were both 28 years old, we didn’t think of it.
Once September comes, I will start looking for a job, but for now, I just want to be able to stay in our first home with my daughter. I’m hoping you see that with the help of you and others, we can stay in our home and I can raise my daughter in the only home she’s ever known. I’m hoping that with your help, I can do that for her.
Dan and Benjamin’s services are on Monday, July 28 I’m just not sure how I am going to get through that.
