Hi my name is Butterfli Rain and in the year 2000 I married the most wonderful man I've ever known. His name was Angerlo Jackson and he was my best friend, my soulmate, my one true love, my twin flame and my partner in crime. We were very much in love and very shortly after we met me married and started our blended family together. Although I had done some traveling throughout my lifetime my husband had never gone anywhere out of California. I promised him we would see the world together. As I'm sure you are well aware life is what happens while we're busy making plans and taking care of our family and our disabled mothers became priority. Shortly after we married my husband developed peripheral vascular disease and ultimately ended up losing his legs. We struggled for a while and had our ups and downs but we got our stuff together and got to a point where we were okay and while I was the only person working we were financially okay enough that my husband begged me to retire early from 27 years in the medical field the last 13 of which I spent at Stanford caring for numerous wonderful patients. Finally the health care system had become mentally physically and spiritually taxing on me and my husband's cries to retire early so that we could travel feel no longer on deaf ears and I finally agreed to take that early retirement. Unfortunately 4 months after I retired my husband had a major heart attack and dropped dead on the front porch at 5:00 in the morning. And in an instant my world, my love, my best friend and life is I knew it were gone forever. All I was left with was the regret that I had never gotten to take my husband anywhere other than back to my hometown of Philadelphia, we got to see times square and I took him to Vegas where we secretly got married again for the second time. Lol it was our inside joke I was his second wife and he was my fourth husband. Now I live with the regret that I didn't retire earlier so that we could enjoy more new places together. I'm asking for your help so that I can fulfill my promise to him and travel to some of the places that we wanted to go to. With his ashes I would like to take him to where he wanted to go the most he wanted to see the Bahamas and to go to Bora Bora and the rainforests of Brazil. Help in the form of cash donations and or gift cards to help purchase items needed for the trip would be an awesome wonderful help. When my husband passed away we did not have any insurance on him or myself because our one household income did not afford that luxury and now I am on a fixed income and don't have the means to make these trips happen on my own and so I ask and I'm relying on the kindness of strangers to help me fulfill my promise to my best friend. I'd like to thank you in advance for listening to my story and even considering helping. I hope if only one thing comes with me making this page is what I'm about to say reaching someone and it making a difference then that makes me making this page worth it. If you have someone you love and they love you cherish it and don't wait until tomorrow to do what you can do and say today because tomorrow might never come. Take it from me! Hold on to your loved one. Tell them you love them often, hug them kiss them and let them know how much they mean to you! I thank you for your time May your life be filled with light love and laughter! Butterfli Rain
Cash donations and gift cards to Walmart, Target and Amazon would all be helpful and me keeping my promise to my love.
