Today I have 2 angels that talk to me everyday... Liz and Robert tell me they will see me one day. That when my time comes, they will be there to greet me, to hold my hand and guide me through the pearly gates. I find comfort in knowing that Liz is not alone, that her Uncle Robert is standing by her side. I have so many regrets, I tell them and they tell me not to cry, that all that doesn;t matter when you're on the other side. Forgive and love that is what they say... they help me through these trying times, make me stronger to survive this life so that one day I will see them both for my eternal life. It makes me realize what's important. That all this is left behind and all that really matters is did you live a good life. Not material possessions or money in the bank, but how you spend your time with your loved one's and how you live your life.I love you Robert and you will always be with me. I try to be strong because I know you want me too buit times like this make it hard whenever I think of you! My wedding day, you should've been there, I was thinking of you a lot that day and I wanted you to know, it would have made me so happy to have you there. I will think of you on every wedding anniversary and will celebrate your life. I know all you ever wanted was someone to treat me right.... the last time I saw you, you said I did good and that you like Norm and that I've finally found someone that deserves me. I love you Big Bro!


Love,


Your Little Sister

I remember growing up Robert Mccabe would watch karate movies  (Bruce Lee ) and practice his karate on my sister  Laura  and I. He would also rub his hairy legs on us. No baby messed with my sisters and I. In school everyone would say that's  Mccabe's little sister. He would always tease me and tell me to open my eyes. 

I got the best compliment today. A very good friend of mine looked at this, after I posted the link to it, and told me that Rob and I looked a lot alike. When I told her that he wasn't my blood brother she told me that we looked more like brother and sister than my blood brothers did. She made my day! I just had to share this with everyone. See, I told you we were brother and sister :-)

"WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME"

When tomorrow starts without me And I’m not here to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me
I wish you wouldn’t cry The Way you did today While thinking of the many things We did not get to say
I know how much you love me As much as I love you Each time that you think of me I know you will miss me too
When tomorrow starts with out me Please try to understand That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand
The angel said my place was ready In heaven far above And That I would have to leave behind All those I Dearly Love
But When I walked through Heaven’s Gates I felt so much at home When GOD looked down and smiled at me From his golden throne
He said This Is Eternity And All I promised you Today for life on earth is done But Here it starts a new
I promise no tomorrow For today will always last And Since each day’s the exact same way There is no longing for the past
So When Tomorrow starts without me Do not think we’re apart For every time you think of me Remember I’m right here in your heart

Sunday morning when I got home after I had heard that my son had been killed there was a box on the table from Robert.  I opened it and it was a box of beautiful chocolate covered strawberries for Mother's Day.  I had received beautiful flowers on Friday for Mother's Day and the Strawberries were an extra surprise.  It was as though he was there at home to comfort me when I got there.  I went from my youngest daughter's wedding to losing my only son.  I love you Robert Paul McCabe all the way up to the stars and back!  I have such a hole in my heart....

This was when we moved the family to Antioch, California.  Robert was in his Rhinestone Cowboy phase as you can tell by his vest.  I have a cassette where he sings his favorite Glenn Campbell song.  As soon as I figure out how to transfer it, I will post it on here.  He has always been a character but always a very cute one!


Oh yeah, if you can't find him, he is on the third row, 5th from the left.
