The Wedding August 9, 2003
My grandaughter, was beautiful, simply radiant. I was ushered in by
my Bobby's son, Bobby II, my husband, Patrick escorted Jessica. As they were coming down the isle, I almost burst
into tears. Not only for happiness for her, (my hubby looked pretty good too) but also for her Dad, who should have been there.
It was a beautiful ceremony. Complete with candle lighters, 4 bridesmaids
and groomsmen, ring bearers, flower girl. The look on Roberts face when he saw her for the first time in her bridal gown as
she started down the isle, was pure love and pride.
It was really neat to see my husband dance with our Jessica
at the reception. Before we left, I told her I love her and gave her a hug and kiss and told her to be happy. She said, "I
am. I love you too." It was obvious by the glow on her face and the gleam in her eye, that she was happy. We told Robert that
we love him and welcomed him into the family.
All in all, it was a very nice evening, and for a little while, I was able to smile and
be happy.
After we left the reception, my husband took off his boutinier and
said that he would like to put it on Bobbys grave. I told him it was getting too late and the gate would be locked.
So, Sunday, after church we stopped by and we both put our flowers
there for our Bobby.
It was so very touching as my husband squated down and said, "Son,
your daughter was beautiful last night at her wedding. This is for you, son. I love you". After we left, he said 'I think
Bobby heard me'.
Anyway, it has been a while since I have seen that much emotion from
him.
I am a lucky woman to have the opportunity to love them so much.
Rean....Bobbys mom forever

A Pleasant Surprise
(written June 11, 2004)
Quite unexpectedly, our 17 year old grandson, whom we had
not seen since he was a baby, showed up at our door. His mom had moved out of town with him and we did not know how to contact
them.
He had never met any of our side of the family. He kept bugging his mom until she finally decided it was time to
fill him in. I just wish he could have contacted us sooner so he could have known his dad, my Bobby. And could have attended
his sister, Jessica's, wedding.
We went to his high school graduation last week, June 3, 2004, and he is leaving
today to go to college for Aviation Technology. We are so proud of him and so happy that he came to see us. I know his dad,
would be proud also.
He was raised an only child and wanted to know if he had brothers and sisters. He was very happy
when he finally met up with all of them at my grandaughters house. Night before last, he spent the night with us and we had
a bbq to celebrate my daughters birthday and he got to meet lots of cousins and both my daughters. We had a wonderful time.
He is really a great kid, or I should say, young man.
Adam is my Bobby's oldest son, and he has a lot of his
dad's traits. At times he would say something and it would sound just like something his dad would have said. And, he really
has a lot in commom with his new-found brother, B.J., and sisters, Jessica and Brittaney. He even went to the cemetary
and took flowers to his dad's grave. My grandaughter told him all about my parents (his great-grandparents) and brother who
are buried close to Bobby.
His mom said his feet still have not touched the ground since he contacted us.
