        Brook, I am so sorry for your loss. I am divorced from my children's father but when I read this I felt such a pain in my chest because as a mother we always put our children first. Please take care of yourself and children and your family are in my prayers.

                Brook,

                May it help you to know how many people are praying for you and your precious children and are here for you in love and in spirit through this incredibly difficult time.

                May beautiful memories of your husband live on through you and your children and somehow give you the peace and the strength to lean on one another as well as those around you, as you each begin to move forward.

                With deepest sorrow and love and sympathy, we are ALL here for you... Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

                ((=hugs=)) Elisabeth

                  I've sat here in tears for the last few minutes while I've been reminded how amazing the people around me are. Thank you.

                  There have been some questions posted - and before they're posted here, I thought I'd address it.


                  Hi everyone.

                  Thank you very much for your thoughts and prayers. My family appreciates them very much - more than you know.


                  I want to clear up some confusion.

                  My husband & I seperated last spring for about 3 months, as was posted. We did get back together in May of 2005 and we worked hard and made huge progress. We seperated again in March of this year, and we were going through divorce proceedings. Our first hearing was actually Thursday of last week.

                  It was up and down. Hot and cold. My love for him was never, EVER the question. I loved my super hero with all my heart and will until the day I die. There were many other things going on that we really struggled with and couldn't see our way around. The first 5 weeks we were seperated or so, we were really awful to each other. The last 3 weeks? We have been "Brook & Corky" again every time we were together or talked. We've spent the last 3 weeks talking at all hours of the night and he was here almost daily. He must have told me a million times, "Wife...it's going to take us both a year or two to get through some of this sh*t, but make no mistake, I still believe with all of my heart just like you do that we will grow old together, sitting on that front porch swing, drinking fresh lemonade, watching the grandchildren run and play."

                  We both believed that.

                  Monday night my husband called me at 9:04pm - it was the last time I spoke with him. The conversation was 3 minutes, 42 seconds long and it ended with him saying, "I'll talk to you later. I love you."

                  We miss him so much already. My phone hasn't rang at 1am since Sunday. I haven't received my standard, "Good morning, baby. Busy day ahead. I'll call you later." text since Monday.

                  Things are just never, ever going to be the same. While it's true that I wanted to be his ex-wife for the last 2 months, I wanted nothing more in life than to be his wife for the preceeding 13 years 1 month.

                  He was my husband the day he died and I am his wife. He was my super hero.


                  If you haven't told someone you love that you love them - make a point to do so today, please.

                  If you have pass codes to your accounts that your SO doesn't have, write them down somewhere that they will find them in the event something like this happens. I can't tell you how much easier things would be right now if I had that access for my kids.

                  If you don't have life insurance, MAKE THAT CALL TODAY. My husband had none.

                  If you haven't recorded a phone conversation with your kids - do so. I'm eternally grateful that that's something we did. My kids will never forget the sound of his voice and the affection and love that radiated through it for them.

                  If you haven't taken a picture with your SO or your children recently - do so. Tomorrow really may be too late.



                  Thank you so much again. I really appreciate it.

                  Peace, love & light to you all.
                  ~Brook

                                Brook what beautiful photos you've posted of your husband. He looks like he was a very happy, loving and caring man. He looks like he was alot of fun and someone who liked to laugh. I can see the love he had for you and your children in the photos. Thank you for sharing them with us.
                                I am so sorry for your loss.
                                You and your children are in my thoughts and prayers.
                                May God send angels to comfort and help you and your children during this very sad and emotional time.
                                We love you Brook and are here for you. {{{hugs}}}
