New Grandbaby Cash William Young (Poppy got to see him :)
So much love it hurts to let go.
Bill passed away the day after these pictures were taken. He went to be at peace on July 10th, 2010 at 5:15 p.m... It was a very sad ending to the best person anyone could have ever known.Bill was special in many ways. My boyfriend was unique, and I am the lucky one who got to have him in my life. You would never find a more giving, loving person and God has a true kind soul in heaven. He lived his life here on earth with a caring heart. He never made a promise he couldn’t keep. His word was gold, and you knew that. Bill always made sure his family was taken care of. He had a difficult time saying no, and he will be rewarded in heaven for the goodness he bestowed here in his lifetime. He always said his job was just a paycheck, but you just saw the light in his eyes when he talked about his Fireman days. What a great honor to know and love a Fireman. After “911” Bill had his Polo Shirts appliquéd with 343 for the fallen firefighters. His license plate on his truck and motorcycle reflected that symbol as well (4R343) & (2R343). Today he will be laid to rest in plot #343. We knew he was proud; he just wasn’t able to put on airs. It is with great sadness that I wasn’t around for his entire career, but I believe I was just as proud of him or more than anyone ever could be. I loved my Fireman and he so loved me. Our lives were meant to cross paths, and we enjoyed the time we spent together. Bill was fulfilled to have someone by his side to help support and love him as he journeyed home. We fought a long hard past two years of cancer, and it was a wretched fight for him, but you would never see someone fight harder. He had a saying, “if I just get one more day with my girlfriend” than it will be worth it. I can’t even begin to fathom what my life will be like without him, but I know that my life was so much better with him. I met my dream, and the true love of my life and that is something I will cherish forever. We all go through life and wonder what it would be like to fall ill, live today like there is no tomorrow, because this is the worst thing anyone could ever imagine. It took a very strong man and broke him down to a mere shell of who he was. Bill so loved his family and praised his friends, it was a bitter-sweet ending for him and it is a shame that some he felt so close to could not be there to see him watch the world go by. Let’s hope and pray that someday no one will ever have to suffer like my Boyfriend did. It is with great sadness that I say goodbye to Bill, but great joy in knowing I will see him again in Heaven…
