Where ever you are~
What ever you are doing~
We hope you are well.
We hope you are happy…
We hope you remember us,
~Because~
We will never forget you
Do we say “Happy Birthday!”?
It’s not really happy, you know.
Do we throw kisses towards the sky?
How do we mark today?
How do we make it special, not sad?
So many things we aren’t sure of~
One thing we know~
~Today, you would be Fifty~
We would have had a party……
Turning 50 is a big deal!
~Older than Dirt~
I wonder how you would look at 50
How grey would your hair be?
How many new wrinkles would you carry?
What new hobbies would you have started?
What car would you be driving?….
Where would you be volunteering?
We’ll never know.
Some things I do know -
You were a good man
You were a special presence
You were a warm heart,
You were loved.
And wherever you are,
Whatever you’re doing,
Take a moment and come see us today
Spend a moment of your “Special Day”
With me
With Kristy
With Bobby
It’s your Birthday, Bobbers
and we remember you with love

I can’t send you near enough
s for today, I think.
Your words have made us all love and miss him. I asked God to give my mom a birthday party in heaven when it was her birthday. May Bob’s special day be celebrated there as well. Joy and Peace to you, sweetie.
Oh Shellie. All my love to you this very special day and every day.
((((((hugs))))))

Oh Shellie….this post gave me the chills. I’m sure Bob visited all of you on this big day of his. “They” say that our loved one’s hear everything we say (and think).

That was really beautiful, Shellie. The picture at the bottom really got to me. How precious. Sending you and your kids many, many prayers and hugs today.

Happy birthday, Bob. May your dreams be sweet.
watermelon………..yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!
Okay..I have been playing around with these new Xanga options, and I wanted to return the chat-board message you left me, but instead, I ‘nudged’ you…LOL WTF, and what is going on with Xanga? Anyhoo…hope all is well, and you are feeling good.
Happy wednesday.
Hugs, L.
RYC LMAO…and bring it on!!
I am so sorry for not taking the time to read your poem before I posted. My only excuse is it was late and I just wanted to make sure I said happy birthday before the day was over (does 11:58 pm count?). Anyway, I’ve read your poem, which is lovely, by the way, and will take a minute to think of your Bobbers in Heaven sending his love down onto you and yours. You are a lucky woman to have had two such amazing men in your life.
I bet Bob is smiling down on you and the new life you have made. I bet he is happy for you. That is his birthday present- Happy, healthy you. Great poem! You made me cry.Big hugs, emlee
*HUGS*
I was in tears from the moment I read “Wherever you are” because I knew this going to be for your Bobbers. Happy birthday to a man I sincerely wish I had known in real life. And that comment from Rick…. now there are two of you making me cry! This time, however, I hope to one day meet in person the man who makes your heart go pitter-patter. And you too…. of course!
Love you!
Glad I am caught up with you. Lots of things happened. Love ya!
That was very nice, kiddo. I blew a kiss up to him, too.
