Jamie, Brent was one of my co-workers and I miss him every day. Just two days ago, I was working on solving a problem with one of the Project Managers, and we were stumped. I thought to myself, "Brent would know the answer. I miss him." Please know that your SKIDATA family loves you and misses Brent more than words can say.
Our hearts are all broken into a million little pieces. And although we are trying to piece them back together, I know we will never be the same again. He is light. He is love. He is sorely missed. And, he will forever be our beautiful friend….. Gonzo. We love you and the kids so much, Jaime.
When we found out that he had to come home with me I asked him what he craved if anything. He said he wanted crab. Say no more. I got on Grubhub and ordered all of the king crab legs they had at Boiling Crab. He ate and loved it. We started watching a dumb Netflix movie (that became our chemo thing) when he got the scan report. He asked me to read it and my eyes filled with tears as I read the list of all of the places where lesions were found. I knew I had to get him home to you. The drive down the 405 was a blur. I just needed to get him home to you and the kids. We all cried hard that night. I stared at his photo so long today. Thinking back to the day it was taken. We thought we had so much time. I will love you forever Boo.
As always, so beautifully said. I will never understand why life is so unfair. I continue to pray for your strength as you navigate this new normal. đź’•
