Flowers For Bobby

One Year Ago Today We Were Going About Our Business Like It Was Any Ordinary Day. It Was, And That Just Goes Without Saying You Never Know What Tomorrow Holds. Not Once Did It Enter My Mind I Would Be Visiting My Son's Grave A Year Later.
Death Before Your Time Always Happened In Other Families. I Suppose We Need A Reminder Now And Then As To Who Is In Charge.
As You Can Tell By The Photo Above, Bobby's Headstone Was Put Into Place In Time For Memorial Day. There Were Some Delays In This Project And It Appeared It Would Not Be Finished By The Holiday. Adams Memorial Did A Wonderful Job On Bobby's Headstone. Their Technology In Design Allows Bobby's Photo As Well As His Children To Be On The Stone. It's Beautiful!
I Was Told After This Photo Was Taken More Flowers Were Added. Mike, Amy, And The Boys Went With Billie And Myself. They Brought Flowers To Be Placed With Ours.
Saints Peter And Paul Cemetery, Located In Westville Illinois Is Bobby's Final Resting Place. It's Within Bicycle Riding Distance For His Children. The Small Cemetery Is Situated Just Outside Of Town With A Country Like Setting.
Even Though Today Is Memorial Day, I Don't Need A Day To Remind Me To Put Flowers On My Son's Grave. I Will Forever Mourn My Son's Death. He Was Not Suppose To Leave Before Me. I Miss Him Terribly. Even Though We Don't Understand Why Things Happen As They Do, We Must Accept It And Move On. I Will See Bobby Through The Eyes Of His Children. I Have Photo's And Video To Comfort Me In My Day's Of Missing Him. Life For Us Will Never Be The Same. However, What A Pleasure We Had For The Past 29 Years With Bobby Being A Part Of It.
I Will Always Love You Son.....

A Million Times We've Needed You,
A Million Times We've Cried.
If Love Alone Could Have Saved You,
You Never Would Have Died.
If All The World Was Ours To Give,
We Would Give It Yes, And More,
To See You Coming Up The Steps,
And Walking Through The Door.
To Hear Your Voice And See Your Smile,
To Sit And Talk A While,
To Be With You That Same Old Way,
Would Be Our Fondest Day.
A Heart Of Gold Stopped Beating,
Two Smiling Eyes Closed To Rest,
God Broke Our Hearts To Prove To Us,
He Only Takes The Best.
