I remember when I was very little. My mother and I were watching my brother playing. He was so cute. I felt so much love for him, and I knew my mother enjoyed him too. Mom said something like I'm glade we have him . And I responded" Every family should have a Bobby". I guess I ment it. My first baby was named Bobby. I wish I could have seen the reunion when Bobby got to Heaven. Love Sissy

You never had us fooled

I prayed that you wouldn't suffer and that your pain would go away.

I didn't want you to leave us, but I knew you couldn't stay.

I wanted to hold your hand as you were set free.
"You're too late Honey" is what Aunt Kathy said to me.

I ran into your Hospital room hoping that she was wrong.

They were packing up your stuff, and you were already gone.

I sat beside your body, stroking your hair and your arm.

One moment I'd be crying and the next I would be calm.

When we left I panicked, I didn't want to leave you alone.

I was still in shock and failed to see, you were already home.

When my mother asked me to do this, I had no idea what to write.

So I decided to ask God for some words to describe your life.

You had your share of hardships like many of us do.

You made some life changing decisions, then you saw them through.

Some would boast of how great they were, when faced with earthly dangers.

But you hid your good deeds, in the hearts of many strangers.

The polished and refined man does not a hero make.

It's the man who always gave, much more than he would take.

You were not the knight in shining armour that the world expects to see.

You were the man in the yellow cab who would gladly rescue me.

You always knew your politics, you were patriotic and true.

Your home was proudly decorated in red, white and blue.

Your sense of humor though dry at times, I think it served you well.

You picked on those you loved the most, did you think we couldn't tell?

Your rough exterior was just a disguise. Did you think we couldn't see?

The kind hearted, yet stubborn man that you turned out to be.

Though I know you would probably deny it, I know this much is true.

You had a heart of gold, and you never had us fooled.
