View all 330 ReflectionsIt’s been 7 heartbreaking years since you left us. God, I miss you like crazy. So many things have changed, I wish I could call and tell you all about them. I’m following your footsteps even though they are huge ones to fill. I worked my 12 hour shift today as I told you I would. I stopped numerous vehicles, mostly due to speeding. I didn’t get any dui drivers but a good friend/fellow brother did, it was for you! Mom and dad are holding up, it’s hard with it being Fathers Day tomorrow. I hope you know I never forget about you. I keep your picture with me, I talk to you all the time. I love you Bobby! My big brother, my hero, my angel! Continue to guide me, continue to protect me, be there waiting for me when he calls me home!
