I do believe our child knows what we are doing and is watching over us. I know because I have felt Bobby's presence so many times and everytime he lets me know not to be so sorrowful because he is wonderful and he wants me to be happy for him. From the very first day he was gone, I heard him say "I'm okay Mom, please don't cry. I'm here with Jesus where there's so much love." Those were his last words to me. I wasn't there with him when he died, but God let him say those words to me after he died. He whispered those words to me when I was dozing off in the back seat, on the way to Florida to make his funeral arrangements. You might say, "You were just dreaming." But I know in my heart it was God's way of letting me know that He is taking care of Bobby and that my Bobby is in a wonderful place. A place where he is surrounded by so much love.
Ruth, yes, almost everyone has quit mentioning Bobby's name to me, but you know what I do? I make a point to say his name to them. "Bobby used to do that." "Bobby loved that song." "Bobby looked good in that color." Bobby used to play that on his guitar." "Do you remember when Bobby did that?"
I always talk about him because I want them to know that I am not uncomfortable about them talking about him. One time, my sister-in-law did not come over to visit with my brother, and I know it was because she did not feel comfortable with seeing tears in my eyes all the time. The only person that really seems not to be uncomfortable is my youngest son, Stephen. And I think it is because Stephen still grieves a lot about Bobby too, and he talks about him most every day to me. I have a friend that lost her daughter due to an automobile accident. It has been over 20 years, but she still grieves. She understands what I am going through and she always mentions Bobby's name to me. I think that to be comfortable, someone has to have felt that same pain.
I hope you are doing well. I know that your daughter is singing in God's heavenly chorus and she is loving every second of every day. Music! Another wonderful blessing from God. What a simple thing, but what a true blessing. God gives us so many blessings.
Love to you,
Patti
