I have a friend Sean Brown, http://www.protrucker.com I met on Twitter recently. Getting to know him even better through the loss of another. He was a long distance trucker in Canada, on the road for days at a time. He had other jobs but found that driving the big rigs was the one that fit his heart the best. Unfortunately, his wife at that time left him, took his stepdaughter and broke his heart. The story in his words is here http://protruckr.com/white-lines-with-the-hammer-down
To connect with people, he started twittering and sending out wonderful pictures of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Well, he met TracyLynn Proffer through the internet, and she was able to help him get through that heartache.
His heart healed, he married and now has a son. He slipped on some ice, severely broke his left leg and ankle, and will not be able to drive again. TracyLynn was giving him support even while she was dying from cancer.
He is going to find a new road in life.
She died on January 25, 2011.
I found the above picture in his collection and had to write the following:
+++++
Highway to Heaven
The road the past few years had been rough
His wife left him taking her daughter.
There seemed to be no way to go
Roadblocks and detours lined his way.
A phone was all she left him
Throwing dignity and love into the trash.
Dark holes of night absorbed his life
The sun never fully out during the day.
We die inside when love is broken
We find our self-worth is destroyed.
All he could do was keep moving,
The call of eighteen-wheelers keeping him alive.
To ease the pain and record his journey
He took pictures of the home of the gods
The Canadian Rocky Mountains were his
To share with the world through his lens.
Driving solo, each day much like the next
He found a partner to share his ride.
Some may laugh at his choice of passengers,
But Monkey Bone would forever be true.
Our brave new world opens up for him
Allowing his photos to be shared by all
He started posting them with a purpose now
The mornings come with a smile.
He gained many friends through electronic waves
Especially one who would change his life
Giving him hope and a way to see his days as full
Yet they never met face to face.
Cancer and hospitals were her small world now
A brave woman who only wanted a window
She admired every picture he had taken
They gave her relief through pain and grief.
Together they formed an unlikely bond
Both in pain and suffering from loss.
She helped him see he had a good road ahead
And hope of a life yet to live.
One day, long into a drive,
On a road he’ driven many times before
Rounding a corner so long in the dark
The gods let him see where they live.
Mountains in profile and wonder
The sun setting the tallest on fire
A sight only seen once in a life
Time stopped, and healing began.
His eyes were opened to the wonder
His heart, now open to love again
He won his race with darkness
With the help of a wonderful friend.
Even with his life now changed
It will be another rough road to overcome
He has her laughter to remember
Her strength to support him down new roads.
She did not win. She is gone.
She now lives in heaven
Right there on that mountain top,
Look close, you can see her smile.
Her words echo through the valleys
Bounced of the top of the world
“Take in each day as a new one,
Never turn down the gift of life.
As rough as our roads may be each day
As dark as the nights make us feel,
There will never be a life worth less than these rugged mountains
Nor a friend not worthy of love.”
