Bobby was not a baby...but, he was one of my babies.

Bobby was not a child....but, he was one of my children.

Bobby was an adult, married man with children of his own.   He was such a sweet, loving person as a child, and he was a devoted husband and dad.  His dad and I could not have asked for a better, more loving son.  Even as a small child, Bobby listened when he was spoken to.  As he grew into manhood, our hearts almost burst with pride.  When he went off into the U. S. Army, I cried.  I was so proud of him....yet did not want him to go....I was afraid I might loose him.   Bobby's was looked up to by his 2 sisters and his brother.  They thought he could do no wrong.  He always said that was hard to live up to.  He married a lovely woman and they gave us beautiful grandchildren.  It was a huge loss to his wife and children when he died, as it was to all of us. 

Since Bobby's death, his children have made him a grandpa to 5 precious little ones.  They will never get to know their grandpa Bobby.  And, he will never have the wonderful opportunity to love and spoil them.  But, they will know him!  Through word of mouth...pictures and telling them of their grandpa Bobby.   I wish with all my heart that they could know him as we did.  Before he started having such pain from the degenerative discs in his back.  They would be so proud of him....just as we are. 

Bobby loved to play his guitar and sing...He was in a gospel quartet called....For His Glory.   I can almost hear his beautiful, base vioce now as he sings......A Little Talk With Jesus........The other members of the quartet sang at his funeral.....but, it just was not the same without Bobby. 

With all the love in my heart.....

Rean.....I know it is so heartbreaking to remember the child we lost. It doesn't have to be a baby....as long as it's your child or grandchild (both in my case) your heart cries for them and longs to have them back, and I know that the hurt you are feeling never goes away. I lost my Richard at birth and I can still remember that day like it was yesterday. I never had the chance to even see him, but I know I love him and always will. Andy had just turned 17 when he died....he wasn't a baby and he wasn't even my child, he was my grandchild and I know love him and  miss him terribly, and I know I will never forget him, or the day he died......4 years ago today. I lost my 22 year old sister in a tragic house fire in 1978, and I thought I would never get over her death. She wasn't a child, and she wasn't married, but she was my sister and I loved her dearly because she was such a good person who would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. I don't believe it matters how old they were, I think it's more about how much you loved them. Love is a mysterious word and can be used in various contexts, but when it affects the heart it's the one that is eternal.
Hugs...Shannon

(Hugs)  Thanks for sharing Bobby with us.  You know...I knew he played guitar but never knew he sang gospel music.  How special. Helps me to know him abit better.
It's just so bittersweet.  We love to look back and remember.......and we are so blessed to have had them in our lives........but it just hurts so bad.
Just think.......now he's not just singing about Jesus......he actually IS talking to Jesus and singing with joy!! 
 
God bless you and your family........and thanks for sharing......
                                 May God hold you REAL tight!

It is true that it doesn't matter how old the child was, but the fact that we love them and that we miss them terribly! I didn't loose child, but I lost other family members like a mom and dad and a middle sister! The tragic part about my mom and sister is that they never had the strength to stop using the alcohol. I knew that my sister would die because her doctor told her if she didn't quite drinking that she would die in five years and it was exactly five years later that I received that phone call. I will never forget how empty it made me feel. The hardest part is that my oldest sister and I made the decisions and had to go thru all the red tape that is involved when it is an out of state funeral and you have to bring the body back. It is heart breaking!
I know all of you have lost loved ones, and I wish you peace and strength that I know only God can give us! He does protect us and I do believe that those love ones that pass on before us are now our angels! I wish each and every one of us a bright tomorrow and that each day we have to move on, that we will always have the memories, but that it will be easier to get through the next day.
God Bless All Of You!

Thank you for sharing Bobby with us! I am sorry if it seemed I rambled on about the loss of my loved ones, but I was just saying that all of the people we love that pass on before us, weather young or old will never leave our hearts!
God Bless!
