Big Daddy Weave - Redeemed Worship Video With Lyrics
My Dear Sweet Robert,
This song, more than any other song, I have heard, fits you perfectly. The first time I heard it, you came to my mind. Even though you are gone from this earthly home, I can picture you and how you would have responded to the words in this song. You might have even claimed it as your "Theme Song", I smile, thinking of that deep singing voice you had. If I close my eyes, and listen real hard, I think I can almost hear your voice singing it. And thank God, because you are now redeemed, indeed.

Bobby's 5th "Heavenly Birthday" - December 16, 2012
My Dear Sweet Robert,
Although it doesn't seem possible that this much time has passed, it was five years ago, today,
December 16, 2007, is when you died and went to your forever, heavenly home.
In the moments before you passed away. I whispered to you, my complete forgiveness, for each of the tough and rough times, we had.
I also whispered to you, my thanks for all of the many wonderful days and the many adventures we had.
As I looked at your face, in that hospital bed, I could sense that you were very worried about leaving me behind. It felt like you were hanging on, just to not leave me.
I whispered to you. that our families would be there for me and I would not be alone.
And they were there, in so many ways.
You would be very proud of them.
Then, knowing that you were slipping away, I held you tightly in my arms.
Then I told you that it was okay "to go" and I kissed you gently on your lips, one last time.
And then in a single moment, you were gone, having slipped from your earthly home into your heavenly home. You went peacefully, and for that, I am indeed grateful.
Your sweet family joined me yesterday for a celebration of your life, at one of your favorite breakfast spots.
Sylvia, Monique, Cecelia, Mary & Chuck, George & Corrine, Andy, and your friend Anita, all came.
We shared some of your funny stories! We laughed and laughed.
Recently, a Christian Group, Big Daddy Weave, has released a song that reminds me of you. Nearly every word in the song fits your life. It is call "Redeemed" and that is most definitely what you are.
My Dear Sweet Robert, You Are Redeemed!
Always Remember That You Were Always Loved and Will Never Be Forgotten.
Love,
Kim

Valentine's Day ♥ memories to share.... There was the year Bobby gave me a cute stuffed teddy bear. Of course I "ooh'd & aah'd" over the bear. Then at his persistent insistence, I looked closer at the bear. Then I noticed the sparkle! On each of the bear's ears was a diamond earring! I was stunned. He sure got an A+ for creativity!
One Valentine's Day, ♥ I received a rather large box, at my job. It was from Pro-Flowers. I can recall wondering how any flowers in a box could still be alive. Not only were they alive, they were beautiful. The two dozen roses had been shipped from South America, directly from the growers. Each rose was encased separately in netting. Can you imagine how long it took me to "un-net" each rose? The box also contained a beautiful vase for the roses. I am pretty sure it took me most of an hour to unwrap the roses. After unwrapping, the instructions said to carefully peel back the outer petals on each rose, before placing them in the vase. There went another hour! I lovingly referred to the beautiful rose bouquet as my "Valentine's ♥ Interactive Gift"! It is now one of my favorite Valentine's Day ♥ memories.
On another Valentine's Day, ♥ he brought me Hallmark's Kissing Bears. When the bears "Kissed" the girl bear's cheeks glowed red. They were so cute. Each year. on Valentine's Day,♥ I set them out to enjoy and remember. I smile when I remember the smile on his face, as he gave me the bears! :)
On my first Valentine's Day ♥ after his passing, I treated myself to a wonderful evening. I hadn't planned to. It just happened. First, I had the opportunity to have a massage! I had called one of the massage schools that I heard about giving an hour massage for $25.00. When I called for an appointment, I was told that the only openings they had for the week were on the evening of February 14. I contemplated that for a moment and decided it would be a perfect Valentine's Day ♥ gift for me to give myself. I had been wondering how I would get through the evening, alone. I am pretty sure that when I told them I was newly widowed, the masseuse determined that I would receive an extra good massage! It felt soooo... good. On my way home, I stopped and picked up a bouquet of fresh flowers. It was the first time I had ever bought flowers for myself. At the time, it felt odd to make the purchase. But the flowers brightened up my house and made it smell very nice! I have done it several times since. Sometimes a girls just needs fresh flowers! Bobby would have done it, if he was still here. Of that, I am sure.
Memories are both sweet and bittersweet. They can cause us to both, cry and laugh - sometimes even at the same time! Thank you God for allowing me to have such sweet memories of love. ♥

Thirteenth Month Since Bobby's Homegoing
January 16, 2009
My Dear Sweet Robert,
Thirteen months have now passed. I see your photos all around. Sometimes, If I close my eyes, I can imagine the sound of you coming through the door. But I know that can never happen. I am comforted by the secure knowledge that one day we will be reunited at Heaven's gate.
Until then, I find myself at an crossroad. I'm not yet sure what path to take. I pray for God's wisdom as I make choices. I never want to do anything to disrepect you or our marriage. But, in one of my grief classes, we were reminded that in our marriage vows, the words we recited are, "til death us do part". Sadly, death has parted us. I will miss you daily. That will never change or fade. No matter what my future holds, nothing will ever lessen the deep love we had for each other.
Please Know That You Were Always Loved And Will Never Be Forgotten.
Love,
Kim
Phil 4:13
