Let's just start with one sentence... Mary was on her way to be one of the brightest starts ever.
A comet, a firecracker, a dancer, a motivator, a business woman, a Proverbs 31 woman of God and Follower of King Jesus. And she was on fire for the Lord.
I, Randall Gregory Hirsch, Chef, Pitchman, Showman, Great Man of God, met my beautiful Disco Bunny at the Alameda Fair. For 30 years I cried out to God my father! "Why won't you give me your best (a wife)." God said, "I can't give you my best until you pass a test." So God made me His best so I could save the rest.
So many times we think God isn't listening! So many times we think God doesn't care. Mary was listening (to me). Mary was watching God's Craft. Mary was trying to hope from the Holy Spirit. She read her Bible every morning, helped me with our business and Ministry daily. She saw the changed lives; at a fair, at a home show, at a food show, at a swap meet. She said, "Sometimes we don't get to church!" "So what!! Because we preach the church."
So, Mary was radically saved. Mary Ann Hirsch became our beloved Princess of the Fairs. "All the vendors could see how much we were in love." (Peanut Butter & Jelly)
Every day I'd ask her to marry me. And I would tell her she was wearing my favorite dress. For 5 short years, we were the Prom King and Queen of the work that we do. Every one loved Knarley Dog and Disco Bunny. Really.
But Mary had a premonition or a word from the heavens that she was sick with Cancer. Being a good husband, I said "Ok, Baby, let's go to the doctor!"
For over 2 years and 5 hospitals, well, the list is absurd, appalling, sickening, distrusting, and just plain wrong.
So, I fought the doctors, I fought the system, I fought friends and family... I fought for her life.
I'm writing this in honor of being a Navy Veteran, an able body seaman (Alaskan fishing boats as a Chaplain for the vets of all wars). I fought for my wife.
Then a doctor sent her home saying that there was nothing he could do.
Let my backtrack a little, and give you a little of my history with doctors and why I distrust doctors and hospitals. Years ago, my livelihood was affected by actions that were taken, when I need surgery. Botched surgeries left me blind in my right eye, paralyzed on the right side of my face, my ear canal sewed shut, gave me vertigo and paralyzed me. They said I'd never walk again. While I was under anesthesia, I died and came back. They left me in a coma for a few days, telling my family that I was brain dead. They said I would never walk again. They were wrong.
My beloved wife died, not of cancer, she only had four more chemo treatments to go. The feeding bag ate an hole, that could not be repaired, in her stomach and her pain was unbearably brutal. The reason I'm building this website is so nobody, anybody, somebody's loved ones are not being treated like chattel.
I had to let Mary Ann Hirsch go off to heaven because that feeding bag leaked and put a hole in her stomach that was not repairable. I never told her she was terminal. Just asked her if she wanted to go home. When the love of your life graduates to heaven, when your soulmate dies in your arms, it's beyond any words that can be expressed.
All I know is I had a 5 year date and dance with my beautiful baby. Only a man of courage and faith could articulate such grandeur and greatness of one person who was out to change the world.
Her last words, "You robbed me for my purpose in life, my husband, my kids, my new grand kids, Randy's family and friends, our mission statement to help the veterans, buy water wells around the world, feed the children, and give freely to any worthy. I'm only 55 and my life has just begun a new way of life: for God and Country, for the lost that has been found, for the rich and poor, to bend hurt knees, ask and repent and God will heal our land."
The first gift I bought her was a heart necklace with the verse Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (NIV) Mary had lots of purpose. So my bride, my soulmate, my Disco Bunny is up there interceding for us all.
Our first date July 4th (my birthday) and 6 weeks later we were married.
