Tragic Sunday

I fn don't know where to start.....

For those of you who have met the new love of my life Megan Kuehn (keen) at the last events, She the best thing to walk into my life!  Her Father Jim Kuehn at age 58 died in a tragic head on collision Sunday 12-20-15 at 1:00 pm in El Dorado Hills, on a Latrobe Rd 1 mile from his home in Sun Ridge Meadows.  Its unbelievable how fast you can lose a family member.  Cherish all that you have this holiday season. Love on your loved ones.  Love on your enemies. Love the distanced family member you have not spoken to in a while. 

Jim was a fly fisherman.  Sadly, I did not get to fish with him, although we spoke about heading up to the Truckee river several times, I regret not taking the time to make a bonding trip with him.  He was an amazing man married for 36 years to Marilyn.  He was a retired Major in the Air Force as a fighter pilot.  He flew for South West Airlines for the last 20 years.  A fearless man with a heart like no other.  Jim has a decent size property and last month he helped me cut all the firewood I would need for the winter, I didn't even ask for his help but he insisted on giving me a hand with whatever I was up too any day.  I know deep down in side even though he never told me, that he excepts me into the family by the way when I was with him.  I'm just torn as Megan does not have Dado to walk her down the aisle when she gets married.  Fucking kills me, shes daddys little girl but the oldest.

Megan's birthday is on Wednesday the 23rd.  I'm so thankful that Megan and I spent Saturday the 19th at his house with Marilyn for an early birthday dinner and amazing games of cards till 11 pm that night.  Im so fucking thankful we decided to do birthday on Saturday! 

I slept 3 hrs last night and was up till 5 am with Megan.  I can't' sleep with all the thoughts going through my head. For those who know me, I don't post very much.  But this morning i needed to let some stuff out as i know you will accept my rant.  I love NCKA for all you do.  The best brothers and friends ive ever had.

So sorry to hear this Would have been great to have him out fish Scott on the Kayak fly fishing ... Let Megan know we have hugs and love for her and you all. I'm glad she has you at this time. Be strong for her and help with Mom... Blink of an eye, things can change

   Words can't describe to bad you both must feel. Sorry for your loss and pray he is in a better place. Holidays are meant for family times, It was great you were able to share one last moment that will be the way you remember him by. Life is so short sometimes make the most out of everyday with the people you love!
