HELLO

I JUST WANTED TO STOP BY AND CHECK IN ON EVERYONE. I HAVEN'T POSTED IN A WHILE BECAUSE MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN DOWN. THANK THE LORD, IT IS FIXED NOW!

I AM STILL FINDING MYSELF VISITING BOB'S GRAVE EVERY MORNING AFTER I DROP THE KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL. VISITING HIM IS THE FIRST THING I THINK OF EVERY MORNING. MY HEART IS STILL BROKEN AND I AM SURE THAT I WILL NEVER GET OVER LOSING HIM. EVERYTHING REMINDS ME OF HIM. I DO MISS HIM SO!

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR US.
I WILL POST LATER.

Mandi~I miss him too. I never thought anything could hurt this bad. I still feel like we are facing this too young. But death has no Age, Race, or Order; someday it will be our time.
Who's next? If it is me or you or anyone we hold dear, I hope you all know how much I love you and how grateful I am to have been blessed with such a great family and so many friends. I think Bobby would have said the same to us, if only he had the chance.
They say it gets easier, and I'm sure it will. For now, I will just think about him everytime I see a Ford F-150, see someone mowing their lawn, pass by the Chinese Restaraunt, everytime I eat at Grecian, and everytime I look at my babies.
Anna Grace laid in bed with Mom last night and she said "mama, bring me your phone, I need to tell Pada-Doo Good Night". I have this picture of him as my screen saver. She looks at it all of the time and hugs my phone. Then after we left the doctors office in J'boro, we drove past St Bernards. Abby looked up and said "Meme, that is where my Papa-Doo is. I went there one time, but I never got to see him." Then she said "I thought he was going to get better and come home". Melba and I nearly cried, we didn't say a word for a little while. Driving down that road to the hospital, I felt weak. I kept seeing that room and wishing things could have been different. But Melba said over and over "Man, he loved his grandkids".....and he did. They were his world, he didn't treat any of them different~he was very protective. I'm sure if he had to choose for the sickness to have been one of them or himself, he would have gladly taken there place.
We have been fortunate, to have been loved by Bobby. He wasn't a man of many words, but he loved us and we never doubted that. We loved him too, and I hope he never doubted that.
love you sister,
Chas
