View all 126 Reflections12 years without you Bob has been unreal. I wonder what would life be like if you were here. Our son has chosen a road I refuse to accept. We aren’t on speaking terms, he basically wished me dead and he totally broke my heart. He has so much hate right now. I dreamed of a college education and a career that he wanted. He dropped out of college. Watch over him Bob, only an angel can save him and show him a better road to a successful life. You are loved, missed and never forgotten.
