A year ago today I awoke to the shock of my life.  I knew he was feeling
badly that night but never in my life did I expect to awake to him dead.

You can not imagine the overwhelming feelings of total shock, grief,
sadness, and relief.  Yes - relief that the reign of terror was finally over
but it would be a long time before I could freely admit this to the world..
This was the hardest emotion to reconcile because you are not supposed to
feel relief when your husband dies.

He brought out a myriad of emotions in each and every person he touched --
some fabulous and some downright evil.

He could make you laugh, furious, cry - all sometimes in the same sitting.

May he be getting in the afterlife what he put us all through in this life.

Thank you all for the support you have given me this year, it has meant more
than I can tell you and I could never repay it.  Just know if there is ever
anything I can do for the people here I will be the first in line.  I
appreciate all the help, love and everything you have done as an extended
family.

Love,
Kimber
