This was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I buried my very good buddy and sponsor. When I drove up there I was on an adrenaline rush and it still didn't hit me that he was gone. I remember kneeling in front of him and thinking he's gonna grab my arm and say gotcha ! I miss him everyday and it's been a real challenge letting go. It's over two months now and this is the first time I've been able to write and only half accept it. Thank you Bob for all the lessons and advice, you were my go to guy. I promise I will watch over Barbara for you. I love you and miss you and as you always said to me, God Bless...
