6 years...

 

 

Jackie'O

 

This morning I look back and say "how can it be 6 years"? To me it there are days it is just not even real yet, days that it seems longer, days it seems like yesterday.

It still is hard, it hurts. I still have your number in my phone, so if as to call you on a recipe, tell you what my latest sewing/craft venture is! Smile

The thing is I so can remember you saying "as you get older...(ahem) Lori I mean, mature in age, you will see how life begins to look, shorter days, time moving  quickly and years shorter". Okay....I am thinking this is so true.... so much to tell you, the children are so much bigger, older, taller, mature, Jodi finally looks maybe 40, still has clear sparkly eyes that tell much with her saying nothing (still call her bob) smile I think Lisa and I "always" will (forever)....I yes am happy to say her quilt is done and getting used! I am so thankful that Dad is well after open heart surgery, we are all well, Lisa is still doing what she does {smile} and yes, Rob will turn a mature number...do I hear motorcycle ride coming for him? Cougar still spoiled ...........we, continue to do lots of ministry, the boys are all "young men" life keeps moving, moving and waits for no one! Home's still in the process (always) ...camping still happening.... The thing is there are always the holes there of the loved ones that have gone on before us, we still shed tears, laugh at stories and remember the "time when, this, that, etc" the thing is....

yes, I am thankful for the time we had, wish we'd have had so much more, God chose the day the time and we must always give thanks.... I am learning now so much from your leaving and yes, Jackie'O sister of mine...forever I will miss you, for ever I thank God for what we had and for you!

I love and miss you today and always.....................

 

 

....I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

Let me tell you somethin'...

Bob...

  We miss you & think of you so much

So many things have happened in the last two years that we would love to tell you...

 



I know that your passing has taught all of us so much,

not to put off things,

enjoy the camping trips (no matter) smile,

enjoy the fishing & stories,

Enjoy having Lo agree with me on NO "bate in the coolers", Hum

I know you'd laugh,

do not pet dogs running around the camp areas (ha),

enjoy the hunting,

hug some one even if "you will see them later",

enjoy the zoo differently,

listen to the story again,

hug a lil-tighter,

look at the fish again,

eat the 'catch'....

finish quilts,

make fried tater's,

We are so enjoying and laughing at Jo in her "Bob ways",

enjoy Dad, Grandpa every time we can...

enjoy Rob singing Elvis a lil-more -smile,

and laugh at the many times we hear Rog 'tell it again'!

You know ever time we hear him say "let me tell you something"

Bob, we think of you and just days ago he got his first deer in years and we know how you & he would re-live that story time-n-time again at the June camp out!

We love & miss you and are thankful for the hugs, stories, love & memories!

To me you are always "Big Bob"!

Thank you for the memories.....

For the time we "had"..... we are thankful!

 

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God

in Christ Jesus for you.

~ 1Thessalonians 5:18

1 Corinthians 13 King James Version (KJV)

13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

³ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

⁴ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

⁶ Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

⁷ Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

⁸ Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

⁹ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

¹⁰ But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

¹¹ When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

¹² For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

¹³ And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
