I met Shawn on a stormy fall day in 2009 and i gotta say my life has never been the same since. Funny 'cause that's exactly what he always said about me too.....lol.....he used to say "Babe, you f**king bitch, i walked into your work, you slipped something in my coffee and i haven't been the same since." Hahaha, that always used to make me laugh since he was supposedly such a tough guy whom noone could ever win over or steal his heart. And although he might not have admitted it to too many people, I DID.....and he also stoled mine...truly and completely. I will not nor could i ever forget that day. It was a lonely rainy Sunday afternoon and i had been at work all day. It had rained for a couple days and the streets were flooded waist high and the roads had been blocked off so traffic could not get through and needless to say it caused for a very long, slow and brutal day. I was sitting outside of the restaurant blowing up the battery on my phone texting people i hardly even knew just to pass the time when along came Shawn. He was on his way to the 3 mile restaurant to get something to eat but couldn't get through due to the road blocks so low and behold he come walking into mine. He stepped outta that sweet little ride of his and made a comment about my textin on the job and said jokingly that maybe he should put in a complaint to the managent. I stood on the other side of the counter and said that would be just fine considering the manager was me.....lol....we looked into each others eyes and laughed and that was it for me....i completely melted.....OMG HE WAS SO HOT!!!!! Made my knees buckle to say the least....like Wow!!!  He sat down to eat his food and the conversation just flowed from across the room and it was all over from there, we were hooked. Then the fairytale began. The conversation continued outside for bout another 2 hours, he asked for my phone number and a beautiful relationship began. We were inseperable for a time. The first 2 years was nothing short of a dream come true. I had come down here to start another life and that i did. Here i was, i found myself a good job, a beautiful apartment and a new man. And he showed me things i had never ever seen before. He took me snowmobiling and ran her at full speed to the point where i definately thought i was gonna die....lol....boy did i ever....that guy was freegn CRAZY. and i do mean INSANE. He sure liked to take things to the limit that's for sure and he did it to the fullest to say the least. and as far as his Harley went...well, there were times i truely thought he like that bike more than he liked me....lol....then again, he was a man, and i always thought that was kind of cute. But like every relationship we did have our share of problems...shawn was a hard man who had to be brought down a notch or two from time to time and unfortunately we were going through exactly that when he got diagnosed and came to me with the news. Shawn was only 43 years old and in the prime of his life....we were just getting started on what we had together...and that's what hurts so much and the most....not only did he get robbed of his life but i also got robbed on what i thought was to also BE mine.....we were havin our problems and i was simply waiting for him to come to me with an apology for something that he had done wrong...when he came to me with an apology alrighyt. Unfortunately it was followed by the fact that he would also be taken out of my life forever....it wasn't supposed to happen that way...we were just getting started...and it just wasn't fair...not fair at all...to either of us...but there are things in life that are just out of our hands and we have no choice but to accept them...although i was never really able to completey do that...all i could do is try and comfort myself with the thought of him being up in heaven riding his snowmobile and his Harley up there with the big boys and the angels. I could go on and on and I would love to offer more stories of him in his childhood and so but the fact is that i simply can't. But i would love for his close friends and family to hopefully visit this site and offer their stories and help make this memorial a tribute that he truly deserves.....so please, contribute and help me make this memorial exactly that ....if he in any way affected your life andor had the impact that he did on mine....please please please Share.....You told me You Loved me Shawn, before you died you came to me, held my hand, cried your sweet little tears and told me you loved me....i told youthat  I loved you back and iI did it with my heart completely opened wide and with more feeling than i've ever had before...and I still do......FOREVER WITH YOU, FOREVER WITH ME.....R.I.P. SWEETHEART.....I'M STILL WITH YOU.....LOVE YOUR GIRL....KIM
