Sloan and I bought our forever home in December of 2021. I moved in immediately but it took him a couple of months to get all his things up from Colorado. Once he did, it was only two months later and he was gone. He died on April 7, 2022 after suffering a massive heart attack at work.

We were engaged and planning our wedding. We had gotten our license on March 17 and were working out a date with our pastor. Instead of a wedding, we had a funeral. We thought we had more time. He didn’t have a will. Didn’t have life insurance established. And we weren’t married so the only thing that is in my name is the house. I will likely get nothing from the estate, but I want to stay in our home. He only got two months here with me.

My hope is to be able to pay off some of our debts (such as purchasing appliances for the house) so that the house payment won’t be a burden. I planned on many years here with the man I love. I don’t want to let go of his memory. He loved this place.
