Man Who Didn’t Show Up for 4th of July Date Proves That He Had a Good Reason
Standing someone up on a date is just about one of the worst things a human being can do to another, and yet that’s exactly what Craig Towler did on July 4, 2016. But he didn’t have another date on the side and he certainly wasn’t trying to be a jerk.
Something happened that changed his life completely and ruined his plans to go on a date. Luckily, his date soon found out the reason that he stood her up, but sadly, this reason changed both of their lives forever.
Craig Towler Had a Great Life
Craig Towler was on top of the world. He was 28 and living and loving life in Boulder, Colorado. His favorite pastimes included running 10k races, playing sports and hiking. But this outdoorsy guy’s world was about to get turned upside down.
He Was a Timing Specialist
As an events coordinator and timing specialist for BBSC Endurance Sports, Towler was very excited being the timer at a race in Boulder Reservoir on July 4, 2016. “Timing races is a very complicated and in depth process and I was excited because I killed it!” he wrote on his personal website.
But he was also pretty lucky in love. too.
He Met the Love of His Life
He had met Amanda Schiewe at the gym, but she was a fitness trainer and he was very shy about talking to her at first. “It took a while for me to get the guts to talk to her,” Towler recalled in an interview with SWNS.com.
And now that they were finally talking, he was excited to see where his relationship with her might go.
He Planned on Celebrating the 4th of July Together
Towler had just finished the race and went home to unload his truck. He was looking forward to celebrating the 4th of July with Schiewe and his friends. But then something happened that altered his plans and ruined his love story.
