    I became a widow Monday night....

    Hello everyone.

    Things this week have been a blur, but I wanted to check in and let you all know what's been going on. You're part of my heart.

    Monday night my husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. It happened at approximately 10:15pm in Princeton, Minnesota.

    Our children are 14, 10, and 6 years old. They are touch and go so far as how they're handling everything, but children are the most amazing creatures on the planet and they continue to teach and inspire me when I step back and look at things through their eyes.

    My babies will grow up without their daddy, and I can't even begin to tell you how broken my heart is. Sammy-Jammy keeps calling her daddy's voicemail just to hear his voice.

    I've asked several people to write down memories of my husband for the girls so that I can put it away for them. I want them to know their father through other people's eyes, and make it easier for them to remember who he was.

    Services will be held on Monday, May 22nd.

    Please, say a prayer for the children.

    Peace, love, and light.
    ~Brook
