This is Bruce when he finished shoveling during a snow storm. Funny that the snow collected on his bushy eyebrows. Man, do I miss those bushy eyebrows.
This brings tears to my eyes to share this story but it needs to be done for healing reasons:
Alan got up early this morning to use his new snow blower. Little did I know it brought back some good memories, but made for a sad day. He's been waiting to use it and I was expecting him to act like a little boy on Christmas morning. When I looked outside I could see he had done clear down the street. WOW, he really was excited....so I thought. Later in the morning, when I spoke to him on the phone, he said he remembered his dad getting off work at 4 or 5 a.m. and shoveling the whole block. He did this so the kids wouldn't have to walk in the snow for school. I could hear the crack in Alan's voice. The snow had reminded him of his dad. This is one of the many "1st without Bruce" we have experienced over the last 9 months!!!
WE MISS BRUCE SOOOO MUCH!!!
The saying is true, "You don't know what you've got til it's gone." My sweet husband has learned so many good things from Bruce and has acquired some really sweet and kind qualities from his dad. He reminds me more of him each day. We miss you Bruce and will always remember all the selfless things you did throughout your life for everyone else.
