One year ago today my loving Father in Law, Kim Hunter lost his battle with Alzheimers.. At the time I thought that was the hardest thing my family would ever go through.. Well surprise, now we are going through what really is the hardest! I just wanted to repost a few things about my Daughters namesake and look back on this anniversary. He was far to young to have died, especially of Alzhiemers! He was a true father and an amazing husband! One of the first times I ever really talked to him he told me how he and Connie were childhood sweetharts and how he can't remember one minute of his life not loving her! I knew in that moment that I would marry Shawn! What an amazing example he had! I have always felt so honored to be a wittness to the Love that Connie & Kim shared... It was like a fairytale, sure they had there struggles over the years as everyone does but those were barely even paragraphs in their love story! Since he left us we have welcomed our amazing daughter and Shawn's brother and his wife had a beautiful baby boy, Grahm. We have had so much to celebrate this passed year along with so much that we would like to forget... But I guess sometimes you have to take the good with the bad... We are doing all right!
