I love to listen to the Chris Ledoux station on Pandora. Today, as I was getting ready and listening to it, I had a little thought come to me that I wanted to share so that it didn't slip into my memory somewhere and get lost!
Before Jonathan and I met, I loved Chris Ledoux, but marrying him brought on a whole new love for Chris Ledoux. While we were dating, we went to a Chris Ledoux concert together and after we were married, I think we made it to two more of his concerts before Christ Ledoux died. At our wedding open house in Oakley, we had dancing and Chris Ledoux was pretty much all that was played that night! Lots of Christ Ledoux songs remind me of Jonathan and so I love listening to him!
Anytime Jonathan and I were in the car together, all he wanted to do was listen to Chris Ledoux. Occosionally I could slip in some George Strait, Reba, or Brad Paisley, but the majority of the music we listened to on longer drives was Chris Ledoux.
I will never forget the day Chris Ledoux died. I don't remember the exact date, but I remember it was April of 2005 and I was working at CAL Ranch in Logan, and I was cashiering when Jonathan walked in to the store in a somber mood and came up to me and the first thing he says to me is, "Guess who died today?" and he looked like he was going to cry, so I am sitting there thinking it's someone we know that is close to us, but I had no idea, so I said, "who" and he proceeds to tell me Christ Ledoux and I literally thought he was going to cry. It was a devestating day for him! He tells me, "We are not going to be able to go to anymore concerts!"
Well, just a few short months after Chris Ledoux passed, Jonathan was tragically taken from this earth. I like to think that maybe he has found Chris Ledoux (one of his idols) in the spirit world and teaching him about the gospel.
