Joe had to be the best thing that ever happened to me, and pretty much a one of a kind. Joe was very big hearted and would give the shirt off of his back to anyone, and was always willing to help his family whenever there was a need.
Joe always put himself on the back burner which really upset me quite often. I would send him to the store to buy himself things that he needed but when he came home he had not bought himself anything but had bought me things that he thought I would like.
Joe would tell me that when he walked into walmart he always heard his name being called over to the womans clothing section and he couldnt leave there until he found something for me. Im glad that he always had good taste and never bought me things that I didnt like.
Joe was never happy with not being able to work to bring in more income and when id tell him that he was bringing in money through social security he always said it was never enough and that not being able to work made him feel less than a man. Although I tried hard to change his mind on that I was never able to accomplish that one. He was a stubborn man but he would rather reffer to it as being strong willed or persistant..
Joe although he never realized it had many friends that thought the world of him but he didnt have the ability to believe it,
Joe was pretty much a hermit and seldom ventured out of the house unless he had to go somewhere that he had no control over such as a dr appt. He did however love going to the thrift stores and his favorite was the salvation army. He would just ride his power chair and go see what bargans he could find. ( he always found several lol)
Joe most of our married lives had a lot of pain but he seemed to get control over most of it because he didnt like taking a lot of pain pills that didnt often work.
Joe was a one of a kind and I will forever miss and love him. I could never replace him and im not going to even try to.
I love you baby, you were/are the best that ever happened to me.
