I told Shawnie that i was writing this for her she sent me a letter that included some other memories these most likely happened when we were all together, she of course recalled our second Date at church and wondered if i remembered with a burning passion i remembered it all also my party. Reading with Bryan. Worshipping at church which might be the sweetest of all every Sunday i save her a seat and blow her kisses and often cry. So to add a few would include countless hours watching Scrubs and the Office and all the be quiet and usually Shawnie prepared us all a huge feast, Bryan had Netflix so we watched all the seasons and would get all excited because we knew in the mail had arrived a new episode to watch. And i just talked about kobeism but with him you had to feild a million questions about every super hero imaginable, hulk, spider man, iron man, on and on. My Dad lives In tuscon and Shawnie and went out ther once by ourselves and once with Kobe. The first time we went i was going through his garage and nearly tripped and fell i thought i recovered, but Shawnie did not miss a thing and stopped me so she could savor the moment in gut wrenching laughter and later that day we all went to lunch and rode in my Dad's car we all tried to help direct him but after three tries he did succeed in taking out my mirror. he had never met anyone quite like Shawnie and the very deep discussions and her questions did make my dad sweat a little, but it was great fun. Then the next time we brought Kobe and he blew great big bubbles and talked non-stop as usual and the sunset was so beautiful. Bryan when he first met Shawnie on the first day we all went out to eat Bryan and her were trading Barbs and she Happened upon that he was often referred as Baby and she needled him enough he got a little torqued, oddly enough though a few months later everybody in the house was referredto as Baby from time to time. I cant' believe neither on of us remembered this Bryan was fifteen and a half and had his permit and this was either the first or second day he was driving. Shawnie was in the passenger seat i was in back we stopped to check on dierections so i hopped out and as soon as i did i felt something rolling up on my leg. It was the tire to the car Bryan had let his foot of the brake just enough i howled and snapped at Bryan instantly. Shawnie on the other hand began to howl with laughter and it was fifteen minutes later before she could actually ask me how i was doing, and know the story has changed and i am the mean dad for snapping at him. Oh my Gosh that was funny. I have joked with Shawnie that i think she waits for me to stumble because the loud laughter always follows, we have laughed so long and hard i don't know how we did not wake up the boys or are neighbors Also on night we dragged out his big wheel and washed it all up and put spider man stickers all over it we were up till three in the morning lovingly doing this because we knew it would mean so much to him. Shawnie went to church every Wednesday with the boys i could never go because i worked nights but oh how i looked forward to those amazing reports of all the miracles that seemed to happen. It's really impossible to chronicle all these memories because every day we had new ones our life included miracle after miracle, Shawnie were and are blessed with the vision to see them and always praise God for each and every one. the affirmations of all that we do is an ever present reminder to always strive to do the right thing and Love does Truly always win.
