I also did not get to say goodbye. Bobby died in the hospital alone before anyone got there. What a mean and cruel thing to happen to him and to us. I have had so many disturbing thoughts about him being there all alone and scared. It makes me too upset to think about it. The hospital called that night. We were in Louisiana - he was in Florida. The found my number on his cell phone caller id as the last person that had tried to call. They told me "we don't think he is going to make it. You need to come down here now." I called his wife, but she didn't make it there before he died. You know the strange part is, right before he left his house, he stuck his head inside the family room and said "Goodbye everybody." He called his daughter Leah just before his accident, and he spoke a while with her. My phone did not ring - there was not a call from him on my caller id, although they said his last outgoing call was to my phone number.
But he came to me on the way down to Florida to the funeral, the day after he died, while I was dropping off to sleep. He touched my arm and said, "I'm okay Mom. Please don't cry. I'm hear with Jesus where there so much love." I will always consider those as his last words to me.
