I found out that on the same day that my mom passed away, a friend of mine lost her husband later that night.
I was heartbroken already and did not think that my heart could break anymore, but I was wrong. Stefanie and Eric were 2 days away from celebrating their 2nd wedding anniversary. Not only that but the year before they were married Eric had gone through a kidney transplant. Eric's cousin donated her kidney and they went through the procedure on 7/22/11.
I was so glad that Stefanie found Eric. She was so happy with him and to see the way he looked at her you know he felt the same... They were in LOVE!
I went with a couple other friends to be with Stefanie on the evening of the funeral service. We did not stay for the service as I was sure that I would not be able to make it through the service.
To celebrate and honor the life of Eric I wanted to share some photos that I had taken on their wedding day.
I was not the photographer that day, I got to go and be a guest! But of course I had to capture some of my own photos that day.
Stefanie- I want to say that I am sorry for your lose, but I know that is the "go to" phrase that people say to those who have lost a family member. It is something that people say to us when they do not know what to say. So instead I will say...
My heart breaks for you. I know what it feels like to have lost my mother and can only imagine how you feel on the lose of you husband and best friend. The man that you chose to share your life with. The man who accepted you for you and welcomed your children as his own. You have every right to feel angry and fell that it is not fair It is never fair when a young life is taken from the people who love them.
I send my love and prayers to you and your family. My wish for you is that you overcome your anger and begin healing. I am here for you anytime that you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. Or even if you just want to scream and shout and let it all out!
Love- Trisha
