I wanted to let my friends here at iTulip know that I lost my husband today. He was killed while driving to work, by a man who couldn't bother to slow down at the scene of an accident.
I've mentioned my husband many times here when discussing education. He had overcome physical handicaps and learning disabilities to become a Special Ed. teacher who touched the lives of many people over the course of his career. He was a second-degree black belt in Shotokan Karate and a crack shot. He could build a house from the ground up and did all our home repairs. He was also a universal blood donor who was working on his 20th gallon of blood. His blood was so good that they could, and did, give it whole to premature infants.
He remembered every corny joke he'd ever heard, cracked bad puns, and made friends everywhere he went. I can't count all the times he was late getting home because he stopped to help someone with a flat tire or a battery jump. When homeless people asked him for money, he never gave it to them because he didn't want them to buy alcohol with it. He would buy them a meal instead. I'm so proud of him and feel so blessed to have had a chance to know him. I wish you all could have known him, too.
I hope it's not inappropriate to mention this here in the News section. I figure it's news because it's been all over the news here in the Valley today. Fred, please move or delete this if you think necessary. I won't mind.
Here's a link if anyone's interested...
