I was overwhelmed with thoughts of Jimmy tonight and had to visit. It's still so tough for me to look at all of these pictures and videos of him without losing it. Your son had so much to do with making me the person that I am today and I just miss him so much. Thank you so much for continuing to post on this blog.
I decided that I was going to clean out my old purses today. As I was going through them I found a business card that said Sunday Trucker on it and Jim's name. Then I remembered talking to his mother about a year ago...she told me I was one of the last people who talked to Jim on his cell phone. I told her I would would come to this site and tell my story with Jimmy....I'm sorry it took so long.
I met Jim back in 2005 on christmas eve. I was a waitress at a club in erie and Jim was there with some of his friends. The thing I remember the most about him was how sweet and charming he was. The only reason I decided to hang out and talk to him was because he complimented my earings. He was a such a sweetheart and gentleman. He gave me his card and told me all about Sunday Trucker. I was seeing someone else at the time...but for some reason I couldn't get Jim off my mind. We talked on the phone quite often. We didn't see eachother much because I lived in Erie and he lived in Pittsburgh. We tried to make plans to go skiing once...but that fell through. The only other time we got to spend with eachother was when I went to Pittsburgh with my friend Brooke. I called him up and he took us to a resturant he either worked at or was close with the people who worked there. Once again...he was amazing. We had dinner and a few drinks. He was so cute...Brooke and I had to try this drink he made up and he ordered our food for us. He really made our night. After we left Brooke asked me why he wasn't my boyfriend. He made a big impression on her. I asked myself the same question...I could never get over how sweet he was. We still talked for a while after that night, but living 2 hours away made things hard, then we lost touch for a bit. About a month later I was back in Pittsburgh for a weekend....I decided to call Jim and see if he wanted to meet up with me again. He answered and told me he was out of town but we needed to get together when he came back.
Thats all I remember about our conversation that night. I had no idea what had happened after we got off the phone. It really breaks my heart. He was one of the sweetest people I ever met. Even though I only knew him a short time, he really made an impression on me. I feel like I was supposed to come across his card and think about him today.
Jim if I could describe you in one word it would be amazing. I'm so glad I got to meet someone like you. I remember everything about you. I wish we could of had more time together. Miss You. XOXO Deena
