Nick Reeder's life was just coming into focus last week--four years ago, he found Amanda Sawyer. "We met on an online profile, yeah and we had a blind date and were inseparable after that date. It was love at first sight definitely," said Nick Reeder. Nick says she did it all--mother, worker, wife and she loved that he was a firefighter, even decorating their home with fire memorabilia. They had Layla three years ago and last year, she used fire gear to let him know she was pregnant again. Amanda gave birth to healthy twins last Monday. She met Kelce and Kaia and then took a quick turn for the worse. "She passed out and then the doctors jumped in immediately," said Reeder. An aneurysm ended her life after just 37 years and Reeder is stuck thinking about life without Amanda. "I can get through it. I can do it. I'm a fireman. I fix things. That's what I do. So I'm going to be able to make this happen. I'm going to make this work, but it's not going to be by myself," said Reeder.
