Good morning my son. Life is boring my boy without you. Life is not complete without you. Life is just not the same without you. Life is just not worth anything without you. After your passing Jim had given me your cooks apron. I put it against my face and a clear image came into my brain. It felt like you were standing right next to me.. I miss you Bob. I love you so very much.

Good morning my son. It's been hot hot hot this week. Typical summer here I guess. Well it looks like your nephew Carlos made the big step of moving out of the home. He is attending college in Santa Rosa. I wonder how your brother is taking the change. Carlos is the baby in their house. I know how it feels. When you moved out it really got to me. I missed you then as much as I do now. But at least we kept in touch. I miss you my boy. I love you very much......

Good morning my son. Here we are again, spending some time together. It would be much better in person. But I have my love for you to keep me going until we can meet. It still does not seem real that you are gone. It feels like I can just reach out to you and hug you. But only in my dreams. I love you Bob, I miss you so so so much it hurts my heart......... love you

Good morning my son. I was remembering over the last few days how lucky you and Jim were growing up in Granite Bay and Roseville. The creeks and the tree house you built were a lifetime of memories for you both. I never thought you guys could have built a 2 story tree house. That was awesome. I wish I could take us back to that time. I never got to see the tree house . I love you Bob. I really really miss you alot.

Good morning my son. Everything is well. Carlos graduated High School yesterday. It was video taped on You Tube. It was nice. All grown up now. A massive amount of hair on that boys head. Funny, just the opposite of Jim. Summer hasn't kicked in solid just yet. But it will come. I love you my boy, I miss you very much.

Good morning my son. Wonderful day today. Carlos is really excited about getting your photos. I texted him the other day and he was so happy that he came by to visit. That makes me very happy too. But I am having a hard time finding a print program that matches my PC and printer. I will keep trying until I find one. I love you Bob. I miss you very much.

Good morning my son. I just ordered some ink for my printer so I can print out pictures of you for Carlos. He wants all the pictures I can give him. He was so happy about that. He is going to be 18 years old next month. Dang Bob, he is getting all grown up now. I love you Bob and so does Carlos. I miss you as does Carlos.

Good morning my son. I am a little late today because I got up late. But anyway my boy, I have been thinking of you alot like I always do. Missing you as I always do. I like having memories of you, but it would be better if you were in person so we can make more memories.I just miss you sooo much Bob. But I am sure you know that already.

James Arthur Gilbert Jr
February 16, 2025
Good morning my son. Here we are again, on a Sunday morning. This will be forever until we see each other again soon. It must be great being with Jesus and God. It has to be so peaceful and nice. Boy, I miss you so much. I know I say this all the time, but it is so true. I am so sorry I was not the father I could have been. A failure for sure. But one thing that I did give it all was my love for you. I miss you Bob. I love you.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
February 9, 2025
Good morning my son. Yet another Sunday comes and goes. Another week goes by. Minutes, seconds all build and build of how long it's been since I have seen you my boy. But it also counts down how long before I see you again. I love you Bob so much. I miss you even more. See you next Sunday.

January 26, 2025
Good morning my son. It's a wonderful day today. I had a very nice dream with you in it. I woke up this morning feeling great. The dream wasn't anything in particular, but it was a really good relaxing dream. I feel great. It's always nice to see you in my dreams. It would be alot better in person, but that time will come. I miss you my boy, I love you a bunch.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
January 19, 2025
Good morning my son. It's so nice I am able to see you in my dreams, and talk to you this way. But then it is so hard sometimes to deal with the fact you left us. I know it won't be long now before we see each other again. I love you so very much Bob, and I miss you more than anybody could imagine.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
January 12, 2025
Good morning my son. I picked this photo of you to remind me that when you were born you were the best looking baby in the hospital. All the staff loved you. you were so happy for many many years. I love you my boy. My heart fills with joy when I remember when you were born. I felt like the most lucky father in the world. I was only 20 years old when you came into this world. And this world was a better place. I love you Bob, I miss you alot.....
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
January 5, 2025
Good morning my son. I know it's early. But I thought as long as I was up at midnight I would come and say hi. So much to say to you Bob, but it's hard to put into words. The easy words are that I love you so much, and I miss you more than anything in the world.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
December 25, 2024
Good morning my son. Merry Christmas to you and Jesus. I know this holiday you didn't like so much, but I hope being with Jesus and God has changed your views. Just like you, my holidays are not what they used to be.I love you Bob. I miss you very much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
December 22, 2024
Good morning my son. Another week and 2024 will be done. I hope 2025 will be better. It's been raining alot and fog too. Dark all day long. I like the sun to be honest. But rain is good. Other than that Bob, nothing going on. I love you my boy, I miss you very much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
December 15, 2024
Good morning my son. Here we are, another Sunday gone by. Just like every Sunday until we see each other in Heaven. This year is almost over my boy, then 2025 will be here. No special plans for this next year other than repeating what we have done this year. Just living day to day my son. I love you my boy, I miss you Bob.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
December 14, 2024
Good morning my son. It has been 8 years since you have left and went to heaven. I know you are in a better place. No hurt, no pain. I can hardly wait to be with you. As years go by they have not healed anything. Never will. The only way I can be happy again is to be with you. I love you Bob, I miss you.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
December 8, 2024
Good morning my son. Not to many sundays left this year. I wrote you early yesterday because I just needed to talk to you. Not much going on here. Just like always, boring. It would be days like this that I would like to talk to you. I know I didn't do that in the past. But things are different now. I love you my boy. I miss you very much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
December 7, 2024
Good morning my son. It's been almost 8 years since you left. That's seems like it was like yesterday by the way I feel. I miss you so my Bob. I really need to see you and touch you and hold you and hug you and just spend my last remaining years with you. I miss you my boy. I love you so so much......
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
December 1, 2024
Good morning my wonderful son. Well today is December 1st. This month always bothers me because it was this month that you left this earth. I am not angry you are with God, I am just being selfish that I cannot hug you anymore except in my dreams. But when I do dream of you it is a great comfort. I love you very much as you know, but I wish this time on earth had taken me instead of you. I miss you so much Bob. I love you very much too.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
November 24, 2024
Good morning my son. All is well here. Holiday season is in full swing. People getting crazy as usual. But it's all good, people will be people. Well my b oy, how is Heaven. I'm sure it's perfect. God wouldn't pick people to be with him that were bad. You were a perfect human my son. I sure miss you Bob. I love you so very much......... so very much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
November 17, 2024
Good morning my son. Not much to report today other than it's another Sunday without you. That empty spot in my heart hurts so bad. But knowing I will be with you soon enough brings me joy. I still feel that I could just reach out and hug you. I could just hug you so tight I would maybe break a rib. I miss you my boy. I love you alot.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
November 10, 2024
Good morning my son. Missing you all the time Bob. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. And good news, the elections went great and I feel really great. No more doom and gloom. The country is feeling better too. Better days ahead. So anyway my boy, I love you, I miss you very much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
October 27, 2024
Good morning my son. The first Sunday after summer finally cooled down. The weather has been very unpredictable this year. But it is ok, we made it through it. I wonder how our relationship would be right now if I could have met up you before your decision to go to heaven. Anyway Bob my wonderful son, I miss you so much, I love you even more.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
October 20, 2024
Good morning my son. I just got done talking to your brother. He is doing very well. Carlos is still in school, Riley is working at some auto parts store. Alicia is doing good too. Jim did say that he missed all the family getting together at Golden Corral. So do I. That actually was the highlight of the day for me. I miss the days all the cousins were closer. Family.... I loved it..
I miss you my boy, I love you so much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
October 13, 2024
Good morning my son. Summer is over finally. Cooler days ahead for us. As the seasons change, it means that much more time has past since you left. My heart will miss you every second, every minute, every day, every week, every month and every year. Part of my heart went with you my boy. I love you so much my little Bobby, my little chipmunk. My handsome grown man that you have become. I miss you very very much.

Good morning my son. I was talking to a friend yesterday about your career as a restaurant owner and cook. That made me so proud of you. You finally got what you had worked for all your adult life. It was your calling. But you had so much more than that. You helped people there. That just tells me what I knew all along. You have a huge heart. Full of kindness. I love you Bob. I really miss you so much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
September 22, 2024
Good afternoon my son. I am sorry I am so late getting here. Had some errands to run early this morning. But I am here now. I love you so much Bob. I wish we had way more time to spend together. It's not fair that you were taken so soon. So much life left in you. So much love you could have given. But now I have to wait. I miss you Bob. I love you very much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
September 15, 2024
Good morning my son. It's been another week without you. Time is so slow. It seems like forever since you left me. My heart always is calling you. I hope you can hear it. I love you Bob my boy. I miss you so very much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
September 8, 2024
Good morning my son. I am missing you so much Bob. Every week I get on here and sometimes I wish God would take me away right now just to be with you. But God has a better plan I imagine. So I just have to wait until it's my time to be with you. That piece of my heart that left me when you left will never be filled until we see each other again. I love you my boy. I miss you very much Bob.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
September 1, 2024
Good morning my son. Saw some current pictures of my old home I grew up in. WOW ! Things look so different. The patio we had was turned into 2 more bedrooms. No patio at all. Plus I have seen other pictures of the changes that has happen over the years. It's kinda sad. Remembering back while growing up all the work put into that home, really bothers me. But I don't own the home, so I have no right to criticize. That's it for today my boy. I love you Bob, I sure do miss you so much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
August 25, 2024
Good afternoon my son. Another Sunday down. Many more to go. I was wondering just how we will look to each other when we meet again. Will I be older looking, younger looking ? And same with you, younger, older ? We will soon see. No matter how we look, all that matters is that we are together. I love you Bob. I miss you always.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
August 18, 2024
Good morning my wonderful son. One more sunday on the books. Looks like summer is finally winding down. The heat was massive this year. Sure missing you Bob. I always will. But in the long run I will see you in Heaven. That will be so good. I love you so much Bob. I miss you so much. See you next Sunday my boy.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
August 11, 2024
Good morning my son. I am so sorry I am so late. Had a bad night last night. Way to many dreams I didn't like. Maybe about a dozen or so. Nothing real real bad, just bad enough to wake me up. Many of them had to do with you and Jim. Just real strange. I do know if you are sending me messages or Jim. Don't know. What I do know is that I do love you so very much. I wish I could turn back time. So many things I would change to make your life better. I love you Bob, I miss you so much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
August 4, 2024
Good morning my son. A great morning it is. Summer is kicking our rear end. Lot's of 100* days. Nights warm enough to go swimming at Folsom Lake. That sounds so good, swimming at night. Well, 2024 is half way over and then another year in the books. I miss you Bob. I really miss you so much. I keep thinking of you and I hanging out. But the reality sets in and I get so sad. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love you.
James A. Gilbert Jr
July 21, 2024
Good morning my son. That picture I posted here is your Grandma Gilbert. I am sure that you both have seen each other by now. She loved you and your brother. Both Grandma and you left this earth way to soon. But I guess God had plans for you both. I will be so happy to see you and all our family when it's time for me to go. Just thinking about it brings a good smile on my face. I love you Bob. I miss you a bunch.
James A. Gilbert Jr.
July 7, 2024
Good morning my son. I hope you got to see all the fireworks a few days ago. It's been hot, dry, and the fireworks in the air. This year we heard many large explosions. People having a good time. I wish we could have celebrated the 4th together. That would have been awesome. I love you my boy. I miss you very much.
James A. Gilbert Jr.
June 30, 2024
Good morning my awesome son. Today is a great day. But it would be better if I could give you a great big hug. That would be so cool. Summer is here and it's going crazy hot this next week. In the 100's my boy. I love you so much Bob. I miss you even more. See you next Sunday or sooner.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
June 23, 2024
Good morning my son. Hot days are really hitting us hard lately. Great beer weather. Great day at Folsom Lake weather, Great River weather. Perfect night fishing weather too. Or just stay inside and veg out. No matter what, things are good. I miss you my boy. I am really missing you. I love you Bob and I will see you next Sunday..... Miss you, Love you
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
June 9, 2024
Good morning my son. I was just thinking that you turned 50 years old this year. It would have been so awesome to celebrate your 50th. What a great time we would of had. Oh Bob..... I love you so much. My eyes are all fogged up Bob. I love you, I love you, I love you. I miss you
James A. Gilbert Jr
June 2, 2024
Good morning my son. Seems like summer is here. Going to get in the 100's this week. Love the summers here... LOL ... Hey there my boy, I miss you so damn much it really hurts. I can't stop thinking of you every day. But the one thing I know will happen is that someday we will see each other again and that will be a joyful day. I love you Bob. And I miss you so much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
May 26, 2024
Good morning my son. I love you so much Bob. My chest gets tight every time I think of you. It's a good thing. It just tells me I will never stop missing you. As I age, it almost seems like I am just waiting to pass just to be able to see you. I know your life was sort of rough on you, and I am really sorry for that. I am always looking back a wishing I could have done things differently to make your life better and easier. Hindsight is a curse for me my boy. I love you so very much Bob. I miss you just as much....
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
May 19, 2024
Good morning my son. It's really boring here without you Bob. Alot of my quite time is thinking about you. And to be honest with you I think about our dog Sonny. I think that if you would have come over more, you and Sonny would be best of buddy's.
Yeah, I really wish that things would have been different if you didn't leave me. But we will never know. All I can wish for is to see you soon. I love you Bob, I miss you alot.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
May 12, 2024
Good morning my son. Today is Mothers Day and I am sure your mom is with you. Having a mother in your life I feel would have been the best thing for our family. Having a mother and Father guiding you and your brother would have been a combination of success. But since that did not happen we did the best we could. I think you turned out very good considering all the obstacles we endured over the years. One thing though Bob... My love for you never diminished one iota. My love for you was always number one. I love you my boy, I miss you alot..............
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
April 28, 2024
Good morning my son. So glad it's Sunday. A day set aside just for us. I always wonder just how we will, and when we will see each other again. I am really looking forward to seeing you again soon. I love you my boy. I miss you alot.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
April 21, 2024
Good morning my son. So glad Sunday came around so I can sit down and have a nice visit with you. I miss you Bob. More than I ever I thought I could. It cuts into my heart knowing I can never hold you again except in my mind. Your face always comes up in my brain. I wish I could see you sooner in person, but I don't think that time will come before it's due. I love you my boy, I miss you so much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
April 14, 2024
Good morning my son. Winter gave us the last bit of what it had left over. Spring is here. Everything is looking good. We had to cancel our vacation up to Lassen. Problems with the car that turned out not to have problems. But it's too late to get our vacation back where we wanted to go. But there is always next year. I love you Bob. I love you alot. I miss you so much it hurts my heart. See you next Sunday my boy. You will always be my little boy at heart.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
April 7, 2024
Good Sunday morning my son. I love you. I picked this picture out today because this is maybe the happiest part of your life. You were so full of happiness and joy. Something I wish continued forever. Your were so full of life, and almost always in a good mood. For about 6 years you were the happiest kid I have ever seen. You loved picking on your brother, but not in a mean way. But even back then you were picky about what foods you would eat..... No problem....LOL ... I love you my boy, I really miss you soooooo very much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
March 31, 2024
Happy Easter My Son...... Today Jesus rose up from the grave to become the great one he is. We celebrate this day because Jesus sacrificed his life for all of us here on earth. I am sure you are being taken care of very well in Heaven. I am so happy for you. I love you my son. I miss you very much.

March 24, 2024
Good morning my son. Nice morning today. I really miss you my boy. There would be nothing better than calling you up and going target practicing. I wish I could of had the guns back then as I do now. I would have taken you and your brother out and do some shooting. I miss you Bob. I love you very much. See you soon.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
March 17, 2024
Good morning my son. Funny thing happen to me this morning. I grabbed a hot burner and burned off my fingerprints on two of my fingers....... Nuf said.... Looks like spring is here in a big way. Seems that winter was here one week and next week the temp's are in the 70's .. Feels nice to have the sun out and warming things up. I love you Bob, I miss you very much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
March 9, 2024
Good morning my son. We have been getting ready to go camping next month. Have alot of things ready. It's really not so much a tent, but a cabin next to a year round stream. Might even have a little snow on the ground. We need a get away. It's long over due. Just to get away from the valley and all the hustle and noise of the city. I miss you Bob. I love you very much...... See you soon.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
March 3, 2024
Good morning my son. Another Sunday, another day without you. The mountains are getting pummeled with snow. Been happening for about a week now. Going to have some great snow pack for the summer run off. Folsom Lake is going to be good this year. Darn it Bob, I miss you so much. I love you even more. See you next Sunday Bob.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr
February 25, 2024
Good morning my son. Looks like winter is passing. We are still trying to decide whether if the area we are going is going to be snowed in or not. It a nice place. A cabin right off a creek that runs snow water from Mt. Lassen. Jim said you guys have been there before. It looks nice Bob. I will be thinking of you even more while we are there. I love you Bob.....my son, my boy. I miss you very much.

James Arthur Gilbert Jr
January 28, 2024
Good morning my son. Looks like spring is coming soon. This winter hasn't given us much rain so far. This time last year we had alot of rain and snow in the mountains. But that's Mother Nature for ya. You know Bob, I love you so very much. Sometimes I get so sad and lonely without you. Just give me 10 years or less and my heart will be whole again. I love you my boy, I miss you so so soooo much.
James Arthur Gilbert Jr

Good morning my son. Your birthday is coming up next month. It's hard to believe that 50 years ago you were born. One of the happiest days in my life. And to show you a better world I enlisted in the military two months later so as a family we would all see the world as I serve. But as you know, life changed things and we never got to do what I had planned. But there is one thing that I am grateful for is you. You gave me so much happiness Bob. I miss you Bob, I miss you alot. I love you so much. Your heart is my heart.

Good morning my son. It's very early in the morning. Just sitting around doing nothing. Nothing new going on. Just watching this country fall apart a little at a time. Don't know how things are going to be by the time we see each other again. I hope for the better. It would be great if we could have been fishing together. I miss you my boy. I love you so much.

Good morning my son. I am not sure how to tell you just how much I love you. I wish you could feel my heart. That would tell you what I want to say. As the years go by it does not get any easier living without you. There are times I go to bed and wish I would wake up in heaven with you and God and Jesus. My pain would go away too, just like yours went away. I love you so much Bob. I miss you so much it seems like a chunk of my heart is gone..........

Good afternoon my son. This is the last day of 2023. On heck of a year. Plus one more year without you. It's been hard at times my son. Real hard.Hy heart and soul is so incomplete. I wish every time that leaving this earth would have been me and not you. It just was not fair. But I can't change anything. I love you Bob, and I miss you so much....... See you next year.

Good morning my boy. Today is a very sad day. On this day in 2016 you decided to go see Jesus and God. I understand why you left, but I just wish you didn't. It has left a huge chunk of my heart missing. But I shouldn't just think of me. You were the one in pain. I wish I could have taken all that pain away....... I miss you my son, my baby bob, my soul...........

Good morning my son. Well my boy, I am 70 years old today. I don't feel that old. I would have been so happy if you were here to celebrate with me.

Good morning my son. Fall is for sure here now. It's getting colder and colder. Ya know I just can't accept that you are gone. I expect a phone call from you, or see you walking on the streets in Sacramento anytime. I miss your laugh, your smile, your personality. Actually bob, I miss everything about you. My heart still hurts all the time. I should have been there for you when you really needed me. But as a dummy I am, I didn't see or realize until it was to late how much you needed me. I am so sorry Bob. You are the love that is in my heart all the time. I miss you my boy, I miss you so so much.

Good morning my wonderful son. This year is going by so fast. Another year gone by without you. My heart hurts without you Bob. But I know it's all good, because when we see each other again we will be whole again. I know you love me. I have never doubted that even once. We have had some good arguments, but we always calmed down and all was good. I always thought your traits were more like me....LOL ... I love you so much Bob. I miss you.....

Good morning my son. It's a great day today. It would be better if I could take you out to breakfast. But that time will be soon enough. We have been thinking about moving. Not really sure where yet.
