How did your love story begin?

I seen her in doughnut shop, dressed in all white like an angel sent from heaven. Its ironic because i was there to see my girlfriend at the time, she actually told her friend (my wife now) " you see that guy, I'm going to marry him someday. Fate had other plans. She was so beautiful she took my breath away the first time i saw her, she gave me hope that you can find true love if you give it a chance. My life is nothing without her, She is my love story a story still being written.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Shortly after marriage we had opportunity to go white water rafting, we could have went with rapids or no rapids. I chose rapids, she teared up, i said "trust me". She said i trust you, It was one of funniest things we've ever done. I learned that day she has put her full trust in me to take care of her. i have never forgotten that day. i strive everyday to love her, protect her, and show her how much she means to me and that i will always be there for her no matter what comes our way.

What would you do with $20,000?

With a portion we'd purchase carbon monoxide detectors to be given away to keep their memory alive. Our son (25) & 3 grandkids (4,2,1) perished in a house fire of carbon monoxide poising (google search jraugh on duty for story). Also pay on some bills, we are both on disability. Me because of cancerous tumor in eye, now legally blind my wife has PTSD from our loss we on disability. I'd purchase reliable car, haven't had money for one. a portion put in savings as don't have much there.
