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
