Re: pic: Marriage proposal, SAC Regional 2009 (1/2)
You can see the proposal here https://youtu.be/0nlF0jz413o posting for historical reasons.
I've been thinking a lot about Rebeca lately, the 6 years I had her felt like they were a lifetime and the 3 years since she passed away have felt so short without her. The team has been a big help, but some days a still really hard. After she passed away I wrote a poem to put my feelings about her, what she meant to me, and how it felt losing her to words. Because had I not done that, those feelings would have buried themselves somewhere inside of me where I couldn't get to them. I owed it to her to make sure I would always be able to remember what she meant to me. Sometimes, like today, I read it to myself and cry. ![]() Rebeca I love you You gathered your courage You told me your feelings You said that you liked me You thought I'd Deny you Instead I surprised you To you I responded with three tiny words I said Sure, why not Those tiny words have altered my life They brought two strangers together in life They marked the beginning of our path shared together They laid the path for our love and compassion They laid the path for our pain and our anguish We fell in love for different reasons You loved me because of my passion While I adored your boundless free spirit I knew you were my soul mate I proposed that one year I made sure to plan it To get it just right I drove out my robot I watched the crowd wonder what I was doing I got on one knee A ring in my hand The mic became useless The crowd was cacophonous All that I saw was Beca in front of me Standing beside me supporting my passion When I fell into darkness I lost sight of my passion I was afraid in the dark Depressed and disheartened You soothed my fear and showed me light You made me fight my way back into your life You rekindled my passion You rekindled my hope We ran out of money Of places to stay I chose to stay beside you In that difficult time For nowhere was home Without you beside me I chose to be homeless to remain beside you I watched you continue to earn your degree You defied the odds by fighting with spirit We stayed together when we were apart You showed me to strive for what you deserve I did just that by finding a job It fostered my passion But kept us apart I planned out our wedding To bring us together I needed a life with you as my wife You picked out a ring that mirrored yourself A beautiful ring and a difficult puzzle You were beautiful that day I'll never forget We moved in together Down in the bay You struggled to find your purpose in life It hurt to watch your spirit diminish I wanted to help But didn't know how You fell into darkness The same as I had I struggled to help you To show you the light I was your beacon in the dark I lost my job but continued my passion To show you as you had me Not to give up on what you believe I found a new job because of my passion It felt more like family to me Not just a job but where I belong I fought for my passion to show you the way To regain your spirit you needed some hope You had finally found yourself You knew who you were Your spirit came back filled with joy Your confidence soared and you fought for your happiness Our last days were happy and filled with love I did not know that was the end I went out of town to make us some money I did not expect to come home alone I found you at home not even moving Your sugars were high Your breathing uneven I wish you had chosen to go to the doctor We called for the medics They weren't far away They came to the house to take you away I went to the hospital as fast as I could I hoped that you would be okay Your heart had stopped I watched as they fought to save you from death You lay there not moving at all I watched in horror as you struggled to breath You were surrounded by people fighting for you I stood there helpless and gripped in fear They got your heart going But it was too late The woman I loved had died on that table They saved your body But your brain had suffered too much to remember Too much to wake up Too much to feel love Too much to walk and to speak We watched your body fight to recover We fought to keep hope It was hard to not know if you would come back They helped your body recover To give your mind a chance When time came to see if your mind was recovering We found it was not Rebeca was gone You left us your body to say our goodbyes I went home that evening and felt so alone You weren't coming home I came back later to visit your bed I was calm when I saw you Because when I saw you I knew what future lay ahead We met as a family to make some decisions They looked to me as your husband For I had decisions to make for my wife You were my soul mate and it was so hard To make the decision to let you pass on You would NEVER stand to live as a shadow I made a decision that no one should make I made the decision to let my wife go I came the next day to be with my wife I was wearing her ring and dressed up for her I wore her favorite color when I sat beside her I watched as they removed her support They made sure she stayed comfortable the last hour we had her I sat on her bed with her hand in my lap I cuddled with her and felt her warm skin I needed to remember that feeling for when she was gone All I could see was my wife before me Just like it was when I was on my knee I told her I loved her Told her how much she had altered my life I watched as her breathing slowed down She went to sleep while I held her When she breathed her last I kissed her good night I said I love you Three tiny words to remember her life Three tiny words that have so much meaning I miss you so much Rebeca, you would be having a blast seeing how far the team has come and how many lives I've had an impact on. But it's still not the same without you. I love you. |

Re: pic: Marriage proposal, SAC Regional 2009 (1/2)
My name is Devin Castellucci, our first date was to a ComBots Competition in SF in 2007 and for our anniversary date we went to the ComBots Competition again (9 months ago) and I made the decision to spent the rest of my life with Rebeca and then put 9 months of planing and scheming into the work up to that one moment. She had no idea that I was planning this and was completely surprised. I got out there and my heart was racing, my legs were rubber, and all there was with me out on the field was Beca and the screaming cheers of the crowd overwhelming my voice, that a few seconds ago was booming across the stadium speakers. My question to her and her responding with a "yes" were drown out in a sea of cheering. The entire rest of the day people would come up to us and tell us "Congratulations" and to all of you, we Thank YOU very much!
