Bob,I have so blessed reading your posts.All of the thoughts and emotions helped me to process what it feels like to loose someone so dear.And SHE was a dear one.
Best wished for your future.
Bob, Reading your posts has triggered a mix of thoughts and emotions as you've been traveling a most unfortunate and unexpected journey. I don't believe anyone can fully understand until they've walked in the same shoes. You've done an amazing job of opening your new world and memories of the old to those of us who love Carol, you and your family. I look forward to your continued shares on FB. Don't know if you've ever heard this or not, but Danny Gokey wrote a song about the loss of his first wife entitled, "I Will Not Say Goodbye." I'm sure you can fully identify with his sentiments, as you both have worn the same shoes. Much love to you as this journey continues.
Late at night coming back from lacrosse , detour took me down past the intersection of your officE. Coming from a different direction but looking over to the left- where your office is, felt immense loss thinking of Carol. Still hard to believe she isn’t here on this earth but elsewhere —with Jesus and all the saints that have gone ahead ....before us.
Your posts have been so tender, so vulnerable. We have prayed regularly that our Lord will “comfort the broken hearted...and tell those who mourn that the time if the Lord’s favor has come...to all who mourn...He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair....they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for His own glory.” Isaiah 61:1-3 NTL
We love you & will continue to follow you.
Ed & Bev
Dr Bob I have followed your journey from day one and I pray for you daily. I have a CD that Pastor Malone preached about grieving and I have to get it to you. I'll miss your CB entries you're a wonderful writer. I went to Facebook but couldn't find the page you mentioned. Can you please send me an invite?
Your writing is thought provoking and so raw, and open. My thoughts are with all of you....how hard it is to move forward when all you want to do is stop. Thank you for thks site and your posts, praying you continue on a journey that brings you inner peace.
My loss was a living loss, and your words have helped me.
