His legacy
The One and Only Love of My Life  
It has taken me sometime to think about what to write as Charlie's Legacy.  How do you write something so final when you still sit and wait because in your heart you still feel that that person is going to come back to you one day. 

Charlie was my whole life.  He was everything I could have ever wished for, I am not trying say he was perfect, but he made me so happy to be a part of his world.  He had one of those magnetic personalities that you are so drawn to and never want to lose.  He was my best friend, my life partner, the person I was going to marry and have beautiful children with.  We would always talk about one day that our children would come home to visit with our grandchildren and we would be sitting on the porch in our rocking chairs watching the sunset.  Charlie loved to watch the sunset.  If we were ever driving somewhere or just outside he would always point out how beautiful the sunset was.  We made a promise to each other that we would never leave each other that we would always be by each other's side through thick and thin.  It has taken me a long time to understand that in a way he is still by my side, I can't talk to him or see him here in this world but I sometimes see him in my dreams and it feels so real.  I know that in someway he is watching over me. 

The other day Debbie bought an angel that had a lamb in her arms and a lion by her side and she said the reason that she got it for Charlie was because at times he could be like a lion and most of the time to the people that truly knew him and loved him he was sweet as a lamb.  It is so true Charlie was a Leo true to his sign where he could be as protective and forceful as a lion and be as calm and laid back as a lamb. 

When Charlie and I first met in 2000 we had decided that we were going to be just good friends and watch wrestling every Monday and Thursday night, then we began to see things in each other that we had never felt about another single person.  We had a love that was so strong we knew that we would be together forever.  We spent every free moment together and if we weren't together then we would be on the phone together alot of times all night. We would talk for hours and hours and never run out of things to talk about.  Sometimes we would talk ourselves to sleep and wake up the next day still on the phone sleeping together.  I look back on that now and it makes me smile.  Then we moved in together after Charlie bought Coco our first puppy for my 24th birthday.  We lived in Baymeadows together and it was great, most times we would just sit around and watch tv together and it would be just wonderful.  We got engaged a little over 2 months after we moved in the apartment, September 29th to be exact.  We had our first Christmas together, we had our own tree and decorated it together and Charlie hung lights outside to get in the spirit. 

The last three months of Charlie's life were wonderful in January we got the pleasure of going to Las Vegas with his mother to watch her and Donald get married and we decided that we were going to go back the next year and get married so that we could share our anniversary date.  They were our best friends and we would do everything together.  They are still by my side and we go through this process together with Charlie missing in our hearts.  When we were leaving Las Vegas in the airport Charlie decided to play the slots one more time before we left.  He won!!! $562 on the way home we were so excited!!  When we got back to the house we decided that we wanted to get another baby and we found Chihuahua puppies for sale we called and that is how we got Leo.  We tried quite a few different names before we got to Leo, after his Daddy's sign.  After that in February we went to Grandma's birthday lunch at the S&S and went to see Passion of the Christ which Charlie and I thought was very powerful and a great movie.  Then we had a our wonderful last week in Orlando for Carly's birthday.  We took her and Heather to Islands of Adventure as we did every year and we had a wonderful time. 

There are so many beautiful memories that I could just go on and on, I only had the pleasure of sharing my life with him for 4 years and he changed my life forever.  I wish I could have had more time with him to have more memories.  He was the greatest love of my life and I am eternally greatful because some people live their whole lives and never have a love like that at all.

Thank you Charlie for the best years of my life, for being my best friend and partner who I miss every moment of everyday.

I love you,
Cheryl
