A week ago tomorrow, my sister's boyfriend of 3 1/2 years took his little granddaughters sledding. Now he was a guy who loved to make all kinds of fun things and he had taken a car hood and turned it upside down and welded a car seat to the hood and made a sled for the girls to sit on. He would then tow the sled around open fields in the snow on the back of his tractor. Last Sunday, while sledding the tractor ran out of gas and the group went and got gas and was refueling and something happened and the tractor ran over him.
It is the most horrific thing a person has to go through when the doctor tells you, "I am sorry, he did not make it."
The arrangements, the visits, the stories, the funeral all of the emotions have been so painful. My heart breaks for my sister who is just lost and is just hurting so much. I would give anything to take away her pain and hurting. They were so happy together and each of them make their lives complete. He told her that he wanted to show her the world. He was her everything. His latest dream was to build a Veterans Memorial in our little town. Now he was not a veteran but he believed that those that fought for our country should be honored and remembered.
He will be missed. We love you Dennis.
