Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

It was always amazing to watch Bob as he spread his lunch or breakfast, on the table. We were jealous that such a small person could consume that amount of food daily, and not gain a pound. I know that he is some place enjoying his love of food again. I hope the cooks were ready. My condolences to the family.

To my friend Amy and her family: Knowing you in our younger years must truly be a reflection of his work as a parent. For all of your kindness I can only hope for your comfort in this difficult time.
