Hey gramps I know it´s been a while since anyone has talked on here but I just wanted to tell you that lately I have been missing you and have been wishing I had more time with you when you were still here. I remember how much you loved us and cared about us. Times have gotten better after the divorce though and Dad is a lot happier now too. Something crazy happened and I got a little brother now too. I wish you were here to see him. He looks just like dad with his blonde hair and blue eyes. I hope you are having a good time in Heaven. I hope to see you there someday.

Hey dad,
Tonight when I was putting the boys down Chris said I miss grandpa and Matthew chimed in with I miss him too. Well I guess that's the hat trick cuz I miss you too pops. I know I'll see you again in heaven but I sure miss you on earth.

Hey Pops,

I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I got Christopher a retainer last week to help with his teeth. It reminded me of the time I threw mine away in the trash and you made me retrieve it. What made the event suck was that there were two girls I knew eating next to us at Arby's. I had to dumpster dive anway.... Thanks pops ;-).... Anyway Happy Birthday Dad I love you and miss you very much.

Happy Birthday! We miss you. Scott and the boys will be here this evening to celebrate your being in your lives. We think of you all the time. I know you're watching over us. I feel you here. Scott got us a German chocolate cake, your favorite. I love you and miss you every day.

Just got back from one of our favorite places when we were young - A&W. I had the usual [chili dog, fries, and a rooooot beer.] It was delicious. I know you used to like to drive to Boulder City when we first moved here and visit A&W. I was thinking about you and Elvis all day Thursday and wondered if you'd met him yet. Be sure and tell him how much you're both loved by me. I know you're probably busy up there, aren't you? Scott and I went to the movies Tuesday. We had a nice time, and he and the boys spent the night Wednesday and we went to Chuck E. Cheese. He's been a Godsend to me Bob. I don't know what I'd do without him, and I hope he knows how very much he means to me. You're always in my thoughts, honey. I miss you.

Bonnie

Really missing you today, honey. I've been in tears most of the day. I'm trying to stay strong, but it's hard. I want you here with me. I'm so lonely and afraid and missing you. I've been thinking about you all day, and how it just isn't fair that I'm here and you're not. But I guess life isn't fair, and we just have to make the best of it. I'm trying - but today is a really, really bad day. I love you and hope that you'll look over me.

Hi Honey - Well, our little Christopher turned 9 years old yesterday! I can't believe where the time has gone. I remember when we went to the hospital and you got to hold him when he was just born. We were both so thrilled to have such a beautiful little grandson. He's so smart, Bob. He reads so well and enjoys it. I'm so proud of him, and I know you are too. Today is his birthday party, and it's hard for me to get ready to go. I just can't imagine going without you, honey. I wish so badly you were here with me. But I know you'll look down on him from Heaven. I sold "Big Blue" yesterday. It was hard to let my car go, but I know it's for the best, and now I can pay off the Hyundai. I also know you were responsible for helping me through all this. Scott continues to be so wonderful to me. Don't know how I'd do all this without him. We'll be thinking of you today. I love you.

Michelle called this morning, and said she had a dream about you last night. Your spirit was hovering over me, protecting me. I know that's true. I feel your presence in our home, and I'm not afraid. I feel completely protected. Please watch over Scott. I know he's still having a rough time. I love you, honey, and I miss you.

Bonnie

I'm thinking a lot about you today, honey. Tomorrow it will be one month since you passed. It seems like an eternity since you left - I miss you more everyday, and wish you were here. I seem to be busy most of the time, but it sure isn't the same without you. Love you, sweetheart.

Bonnie

June 26, 2012

Hi honey, everyone is gone now. Michelle, George, Doris, Shannon, Mike, and Sean have all gone home. I've been totally by myself for two days, and it's so strange not having you in the house. Went to Walmart today, and couldn't help but think of you running up there every other day. I sort of laughed to myself about how much you seemed to enjoy it. I'm a little lonely, but I'll be alright. Scott calls almost everyday, and I know if I really needed him, he'd be right here for me, but it's just not the same without you. Take care of all our kitties up there. I love you.

Scott

June 22, 2012

Hey Dad, today I was thinking about all the wonderful things you did for me when I was growing up. You must have froze your butt off all those nights while I was playing winterball. You took Todd and me to Wet n Wild everyday and never once complained. I am so lucky that I had my wonderful father for 36 years. We wer and amazing selfless man. I love you Dad..

Bonnie

June 20, 2012

It's been a hard day for me today, honey. Missing you, am tired, and just don't know what to do. I try so hard not to think of things, and do a pretty good job, but I'm having a really hard time sleeping. The kids have been wonderful, and I don't think I could get through this without them. I love you, honey.
