Today is the anniversary of the death of one of the best friends a girl could ever ask for! It's been documented in many a interview how I felt about Ray but I want to say it again on this day...
I loved this man because he was my brother, my daddy, my best "girlfriend", my traveling partner, my room service buddy, my confidant, my everything! Ray knew more about me than anyone while he was living. We traveled up and down the road together and for hours on end we talked and laughed about our lives. I was blessed that his sweet wife Angie didn't mind him traveling with me. Most wives would have been "not so gracious", but Angie knew that when Ray was with me he would be more safe and taken care of than when I wasn't on the road with him. I used to love the way we would go to the hotel after the show...we hated to drive the night of the show...(there are those who want to get to the next town that night and there are those who like to stay, eat dinner, relax and drive the next day...Ray and I were the latter of those two!) so we would get to the hotel, Ray would get me to my room, give me his food order and then go to his room to call Angie and the girls and then when the food was ready and I was in my lovely flannel pj's (I live in my pj's!) he would come to my room and we would eat dinner, laugh, watch tv or movies and then I would get my typical kiss on the top of my head and he would say "Goodnight Sissy!" I have so many memories of those nights. Also, I have memories of Ray and I being late because he always got lost...we once got lost in a parking deck for 15 minutes...I am not kidding! We laughed our way through it all. I miss my friend so much and look at his picture everyday! He left behind two beautiful, smart and sweet daughters whom he loved dearly. They have a lot of Ray's qualities as well as a lot of Angie's qualities. Lacey and Megan carry on the legacy that is RAY TRAYLOR.
I LOVE YOU MY RAY RAY and I miss you everyday!
*just a reminder to everyone...Ray had left me three voicemails asking me to call him and if you know me...I am not the greatest at returning phone calls quickly...but I would put Ray on the backburner because I knew he loved me and wouldn't be mad at me if I called him last...It kills me to this day that when he died...I had not returned his calls. Take care of those you love, say the things you feel when you feel them...because you never know when it will be the last opportunity to do so! God Bless...Terri :)
