Alexander Todd Humphrey
Always Live by EXample
God blessed me with my only child, Alexander Todd Humphrey, on July 10, 2001. He lived life as if it were his last day on earth. He used to tell his friends “Tomorrow is not guaranteed, we go out tonight!” He had a smile that could light up a room and he had the biggest laugh.
Alex was a giver. He was always the first to help anyone in need. He opened doors for everyone and would take your shopping cart back for you, if needed. He would feed the homeless and he was the first the ladies would call if they were scared to walk to their dorm at night.
On July 21, 2022 he was killed in a hit and run accident at the age of 21 years and 11 days. I miss hearing him call me Mom and seeing his big smile. I miss all of his facetimes to let me know what he just bought or what friend he just met. The silence of it all is deafening.
I thank God for letting me have Alex as long as I did. I wish I had him longer but I am at peace knowing he is in heaven where it is beautiful and he is with Jesus. Alex couldn’t say “love you” when he was little. It always came out as “pub you”. So…. Pub you, my tater Todd; I’m patiently waiting until God calls me to him so I can see you again!
