I look back on the past two yrs and think..

geez where did it go.
As every one knows Firebirdman passed away on march 18th, 2010 he was a real sweatheart and the love of my life.. i have finally gotten over the fact he is not with me anymore. But every now and than i can still feel him close.. he was a dreamer, lover, husband, father, freind and my soul mate. He will always be in our hearts and souls no matter where we are and no matter what we are doing. He is on the beach in heaven now and everyone knows he loved the water.. either that or he is on a cruise ship having the time of his life.

I miss him like no tomorrow and think about him often. And did I ever learn a lesson of how bad he spoiled me the next time I bought n/a parts. I made out fine on my end; even so, I was less than happy with the transaction,

I have several of his parts on mine...even some still in the garage that he sent me for "just in case".
One of my rear axles came from him...I had a bad one, he sent me one, we found out it was bad too, he just sent one more ,at his shipping cost , no questions asked

i appreicate all the comments to my post.. i decided after two yrs of being alone to start living life as he did.. one day at a time one moment at a time.. it has taken this long to realize what my lovely husband was trying to teach me.. if he was here right now he would be laughing at me about me admitting that.

Terry sold me quite a few parts over the years...good man and always a pleasure to business with.

One of the only guys that would tell it like it was and not over exaggerate.

My best to you!

it is the day before my beloved passed away and all i can do is dwell in the past.. does the pain ever go away is there ever sunlight at the end of the tunnel. If there was ever a time I wish Terry was here it would be here and now because all I want to do is be held by him even though he is not with me and the people that cared about him.. I just hope that i get through the next couple of days but it has gotten so bad lately that i keep on having nightmares about the day he died.

Terry if you are looking down on me now dont judge me just help me get through this.. I love you honey.

I'm sorry Christina. He had such a strong impact on so many people and will for some time. I never physically met Terry but dealt with him a few times and I knew that if I was square with him he would be the same with me. He is as exactly as advertised.

i remember him talking to a couple ppl about a week or so before he passed.. he had the gift of gab and could make a good deal if you talked with him straight.. sometimes i think.. y was he taken from me why did we only have 2 months together as a married couple.. but then i think .. i am really lucky to just be married to him for the time i was.. he had rough exterior but had a heart of gold.. just so you all remember what he looked like i am adding a photo of himself and me on our honeymoon cruise.

Funny thing, Today I flew to Ft. Lauderdale, Last week I flew to Hati for the first time..... I remember Terry calling me from Hati the day he was airlifted off the ship about a week before we lost him.... Weird, or karma...? Every chance I got I either met him for dinner or ice cream when I had an over night down there....He is missed up here in NJ. Yes rough exterior, had his opinions..... but a heart of gold... Ron

Yes, he was one of the good ones...

All too often we don't tell the people in our lives how much they mean to us as we always think we have more time... I'm trying to change that personally... but it's difficult when the daily grind keeps us all so busy and preoccupied with lesser things. Yet we let the important things slide...

Maybe it was better in that respect, with the marriage being so new that Terry knew just how much you cared for him and you knew just how much you meant to him.

Thanks for posting the picture! You both look very happy and content. Just like we'd all like to remember him.

Brett!

Ron, i had to laugh at the Haiti thing. The thing is he told me to go into port but i just couldn't it was not the same without him there.

and brett, it is very true that we did not have that much time together but i still cherish every since moment i had with him.. he was my soul mate and i know he felt the same way about me.. it is just too bad it took us that long to actually meet and find it out.

I was just thinking about him. In fact I won't delete him out of my ebay saved sellers. I recall many long conversations about firebirds and handguns.
