On December 24, 2018 Bob finished his journey on earth. On Christmas Eve Bob went to spend his first Christmas in Heaven with Jesus. The first one for an eternity. Those days are a blur for me.
On Jan.5, 2019 we had a celebration honouring Bob at our church. It was lovely. Our family is grateful to all the folks who took part in the service to honour Bob. He was honoured through the kind words and the wonderful music that we heard that day. We are humbled and thankful for each and every person who took the time to come and be with us on that Saturday, as we said our formal good byes to a very special man.
Bob was the biggest and most meaningful part of my life since I was 15 years old. He was an amazing friend, he loved me unconditionally, treated me with the utmost respect, always cared for and protected me. Someone remarked that I was a princess. Bob made me feel very special, always.
I miss him so much. I am not sure how to live life without him. I want Bob to be proud of how I will finish life, so I am determined to trust God to show me the way, when there seems to be no way. My grief is so raw that it hurts. There are many good days already, but the loneliness is often unbearable.
Today, March 23 Bob would have celebrated his 70th birthday. This weekend our family will be remembering their dad, their grandpa and my husband as we celebrate his birthday. Bob will be with his mom and dad in heaven, together again. That is the assurance each of us have, once we have accepted Jesus as our Saviour, that we shall see our loved ones again, in heaven.
I can only imagine what a wonderful place my Bob is in. So very thankful the painful, debilitating cancer journey is done and Bob is healed for ever. Altho my tears still fall I will see him again.
