WWSD...Today and everyday

My honey was an inspiring man. Number one, he had his priorities straight. He loved God first and foremost, and lived everyday to do the absolute best he possibly could for his family, whom he truly loved more than his own life. When you know that about a man, what more do you need to know to confirm the claim that he was inspiring? And yet, there is so much more to who he was and what he lived for.

Chris had fun every day. He was hilarious but not in a corny way. He was genuinely funny and had a million original things he did to make us laugh. I guess you could say laughter was one of his love languages. It was how he cheered us up, how he told us he loved us and that we were special. It was how we navigated our lives together - lives that had more than their share of difficulty, loss, pain and illness. It was God's blessing.

As such, Chris lived with joy, love, patience and passion for everything he loved and everything that meant something to him.


His friend Brooks Wheeler had some bumper stickers made after Chris died, and they have a peace sign and say "What Would Stubby Do?"

What would he do?

I can tell you this: he would still be living with love and with humor and really hard work because that was who he was. It was the only road he would walk in life, and I can hear him saying to me, "Come on, honey, you can do it!"

I have to go on living my life without the man who was my soul's love, my heart and my honey. I can not let myself dwell on the fact he is gone. I can only look forward and live a life that would make him proud.

Because that is what Stubby would do.
