Short stories: Facing the past

The day was may 22,2002 when I first met him..... The man of my dreams, so I thought. I met my than "mr.Right" on what seemed to be the perfect day. It was sunny out, about 90 degress, and I had just got a promotion at work. I was out celebrating my promotion from fashion designer, to working with models on the actual runway. As I walked into Red Lobster with two of my close friends from work, thats when I saw him. He was sitting with two other gentle men, eating and talking to one another about something that seemed business like.

He caught my eye instanly, with his handsome looks, clean suit, waves, light brown eyes, and with a smile that melted me inside out. I sat with my girls, my mind still wondering about that fine man. I saw him from the corner of my eye getting up from his dinner meeting. As his guest left he didn't. He approached me very politly, and the smell of that man was greatly appreciated. I excused myself from my table, and talked with him for hours about everything. My friends understood and left, to give me time with this handsome man.

After that day we met we had four real dates, then became a couple. It lasted for two years. Everything was perfect for so long between us. Than that traggic day came... One so saddening, you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy. I came home after just finding out I was preganant with our first child. We had been trying for weeks, I came home to celebrate with him this wonderful news. As I walked up to the door I felt a bad vibe run down my back.. "Oh lord" was all I kept thinking in my head. My heart was pounding as I walked into the kitchen, nothing.... Went into the livingroom, nothing.... I walked up the stairs and there he was, the man I loved so dearly lying there blue and purple in the face as if he had lost his breath.

I dropped the test and food I was holding in my hand, ran over to him lifted his head onto my lap and bent down to see if he was breathing. Nothing.... I called 911 immedialtely, I neva left his side I waited beside him praying he wasn't gone, that somehow he would come out of this. The abulance arrived in ten mins, took him away and announced him dead in the car. I lost it, but it a slient way. My feelings went so wild I couldn't express them. I was speechless, and tears just rolled down my cheeks.I felt my heart split in half. "This was the end of my happiness", I thought to myself....

March 30, 2006 was the date of my daughters 2nd birthday. Looking at her still made me think about her
