Not sure what to say?

Dad,

I miss you very much. I wish you could provide some advice to me for the many things going on in my life. I wish you could. Reach out when you can.

Love, Bobby

I've been thinking a lot about you lately. And just re read your obituary. You did live by those words "have love in your hearts." It's truly fitting that it is on your tombstone. It fits too that mom is there because she would always say that to us. I only would hope the people that stand in front of that grave where you lay try to live by that. When times get tough; I think of you and mom saying that. Love is much easier than hate. I have love in my heart.

I just looked at...

Happy birthday.

Love, Bobby

Hey dad, remember you used to tell me as a kid that one day they will make a pill you can add to water to make the fuel needed to operate a car? They're close! BNL is working with very small metal nanometers (long story) that can break down H2O into Hydrogen fuel and Oxygen waste. Just like you said!

Love, Bobby

It's amazing to me how much you could appreciate what you have when it is here and when it is gone. I look around at people who don't understand the beauty of their parents, grandparents, and siblings while they are alive, and I wonder how they will ever find the peace they need when those people are not around anymore. I grew up with you as such a strong, positive influence in my life. You raised my Mother to be someone who was such a beautiful person inside and out, and her loss has left...

Hey Dad, A Met finally pitched a no-hitter. You would have loved it. It was a beautiful thing. Love, Bobby

I wish people would live by your words... Have love in your hearts.
