Today, my smoking hot wife and I celebrate seven years.
Join me as I tell the love of my life and the mother of my son, feliz anniversario!
I was planning a backpacking trip to Roanoke with a buddy of mine when are plans were altered by unforeseen circumstances. Not wanting to completely forgo my outdoor plans I opted to hit up a local campground near the base of Pilot Mountain.
Day 1: I walked the campground and nearby trails with my dogs followed by fishing with a little luck catching sunfish.
Five years ago I met Yan, a vibrant, feisty computer programmer whom everyone called “Master Wu.” Over the years we spent a great deal of time working together. We collaborated on great projects and almost never agreed on anything. It was awesome.
We did have moments of civility. And when we did, we talked about our lives outside of work. Traveling, the housing market, programming, idioms, and our kids. I met her son when he was a wee fella, and welcomed in her second child around the same time she welcomed in mine.
Then the unthinkable happened.
On Monday, Yan was murdered by her husband.
Since learning of her death I have been holding back the tears. Yan was an awesome person. She was a great colleague. She was a great mother. She was a great friend. And she will be missed.
Rest in peace Master Wu
