It was very tough for everyone, I lost a Boss and a Friend and a Fiancé and a future. There are many others that still suffer a lifetime of loss whether or not that person is in heaven or still on this earth. Ten years has passed and I still haven’t healed… wish I could…… But I know what a woman in love looks like, and I saw it many times in those council chambers as I twirled her around. And I wouldn’t be where I am today without the guidance and the opportunity of my former Boss and friend. I miss a lot of people but as it was said in the article, it changes you…
