My Dear Sweet Robert,
My first Mother's Day without you by my side, making me feel special for being a mother and a grandma. I missed you so many moments with you today. The first moment was when I woke up. I remember last year, you woke me up with a cup of coffee, a rose and a letter telling me to have a wonderful day because I deserved it. You wrote that you loved me and wanted to make the day special for me by treating me special. You did, my love. As I remember, I can almost smell the breakfast you cooked for me. You were so proud of the hash browns you made.
I missed you as I went to your mother's grave site and laid a rose there. It was very emotional as I remembered how much you were affected when you were there last year on the anniversary of her death. I held you in my arms and you laid your head on me and let the tears flow.
I missed you taking me to my mother's grave site as you did last year. You were always so faithful to taking me there a couple times a year. I remember how you would bend down and clear up the area around her. You even insisted on bringing a rake to clear the fallen leaves from where she was buried. I remember the tender way you would hold me and let my tears of sadness fall. I would say how I wish you could have known her. You would say that you wished you could have known her too.
Well my love, there you are, surrounded with the joy of being with not only your beloved mother, but also my dear mother. I try to imagine what it was like at the moment of your reunion with your Mom. I can picture in my mind her big smile, with her red lipstick. You have the biggest,most brilliant smile ever. And then I try to imagine your Mom introducing you to my Mom. There good old friends by now, I'm sure. My Mom loved Jesus just as your did. Enjoy them both for me.
I did miss you terribly today. But always remember how very deeply you were loved on this earth by me and many others. Sylvia really missed you today. Her first Mother's Day without a phone call from you. I spent the afternoon and evening with her and shared some special pictures of you with her. It was very nice.
Take care my love,
Kim
