In Rememberance


One Year Ago Today My Son Bobby Took His Life. It's With Great Sadness I Write This Today. Since The Calendar Has Taken It's Complete Cycle, I Find Peace With This.
Now I Don't Look Back And Say One Year Ago Today Bobby Did This Or Did That. Time Has Marched On Quickly. I Would Never Say It Never Crosses My Mind. I Think Of Bobby Every Day.
I Have Good Reason For My Peace. I Slept In His Recliner Last Night. I Have Never Slept In A Recliner Before. I Just Knew I Would Feel Comfort By It. That's What Is Important. If It Gives You Comfort By Going To The Cemetery Then By All Means Go.
I Last Visited Bobby's Grave Earlier In The Week When I Took My Grandson Home. I Found Myself Singing A Christmas Carol. Bobby Would Surely Understand The Reasoning Behind It.
You Must Have Known Bobby's Character To Understand Why I Did What I Did. Today I Went Bowling. He Would Want Me To Enjoy My Bowling. He Knows How Much I Enjoy Bowling. Bobby Would Be Disappointed In Me If I Didn't Enjoy My Life On His Account. Of Course He Would Be Flattered By Us Remembering All The Good Times We Shared. I Will Cling Onto Those Memories For As Long As I Live. As I Have Been Reminded Memories Are God's Gift That Death Cannot Destroy.
I Wore The Ring I Gave To Bobby When He Was Just A Teen. He Had It Re-Sized To Fit Blake If He Chooses To Wear It. Of Course I Have My Necklace With A Link To Bobby's Bracelet. I Decided To Wear The Belt Bobby Was Wearing When He Passed Away. Today Whether I Bowled Well Or Not I Had My Comfort.
As A Matter Of Fact I Bowled My Highest Series In This League This Year. I Think Bobby Was At The Bowling Alley With Me Today. I Think He Was At The Cemetery Where Billie Visited This Afternoon. I Think He Was Everywhere He Was Needed To Give Comfort For Those Who Were Seeking It.
I Am Looking Forward To The New Year. No Looking Back, When I Should Be Pushing Forward With My Life. If I Look Back, I Want To With Fondness With No Sadness. My Reason Is Simple. That's What Bobby Would Want.
Death Unfortunately Is A Part Of Life. I Think The Most Significant Part Of Death Itself Is Missing The Physical Appearance Of The One Who Passed. That's What Photo's Are For. We Should All Create Memories And Take A Lot Of Pictures Along The Way. Someday You Will Find Yourself Searching For Those Memories.
Have You Had Your Kodak Moment?
