Till death do us part
Bullshit. Marriage doesn’t end with death. Love doesn’t die with their last breath. Vowing to love, respect, and honor someone only when they are alive is almost as bad as signing a prenup. Real love lasts forever. Death did us part but our marriage doesn’t end until we say so.

A $250 fine for killing a person. Top Story - August 2023.
On a Tuesday afternoon, October 25th, 2022 my husband, Andrew Dearing was on his way home from work. He was driving a motorcycle. We got it about two months earlier because we couldn’t afford a reliable car. We were convinced that a newer motorcycle in good condition was safer than an old car that would require a lot of maintenance. At that time, we were 26 and 27, and we dreamt of owning a home with a fenced-in backyard for our dogs. So money was pretty tight.

Things I learned from my husband dying at 27
It's been a bit over 3 months since I got a call from my mother-in-law telling me the love of my life, my husband Andrew, was in a motorcycle crash and he was heading to the hospital in critical condition. That one phone call changed my life forever. Andrew didn't make it. His heart stopped and I don't know why this part gets me the most. It's not his head, it's not the broken bones or bleeding. It's his heart that gave up. Even now when technically I should be more logical about the whole thing, I question whether his heart stopped because it gave up on me. Maybe I wasn't enough of a reason for it to keep beating and bring him home to me.
