Missing you baby! No matter how much time passes I can’t get used to you not being here with me. You are my soul mate and part of me is missing without you. I am not complete without you.
Our daughter has grown into a woman and now is a mother of three beautiful girls. You would be so proud of Tara. She is an amazing daughter, woman and mother.
Missing and loving you always….because

Happy Birthday baby! The site stole my tribute! No matter, you know what I said. I owe you because everything I do I do it for you. Dancing in the living room, watching the 49ers, Fettuccini Alfredo, Hurricane Andrew, counting our change, walking up the aisle, Tara and the big bears, NASA, Universal, Flamingo Gardens...all because

My love is forever. It depends not on presence but on memories. I remember all the many Christmas celebrations we shared. I miss you today and will miss you every day until we meet again. I will walk hand and hand with you from here to there because I will wait until you come to walk me home. You are The One and I love you Because.

Bobby you must be so proud of our little bean! She has become an amazing mother and woman. Yes, there were trials but she has come through with flying colors. She is and always will be the greatest gift you gave me. You must have met Bella! Amazing little girl!!! I love you and miss you until forever.

Happy Birthday baby! Missing you still. Loving you still. Sometimes people are lucky and they find The One for them. Sometimes people are blessed and both people meet and find they are The One for each other. Such as it was for us. I will love you forever and look for you one day when my time here is done. I love you, "because".

Remembering you this day and every day that I live without you. I miss your smile, laying my head on your shoulder, dancing in the living room to our song. Our first date, home, the day we married, the day you told me I was pregnant, the day Tara was born, the many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years of the life we made together. I loved you then and I love you now. You are my forever love. Until we meet again I will miss you and all "because".

Bobby, though gone from our daily lives, never forgotten and always missed. These five years have been hell without you. My life will never be the same. For me, you are The One. Living without you is like living as half a heart. I will always love and miss you, until we meet again

I pray You'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way

Lead us to a place
Guide us with Your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

I pray we'll find Your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Remind us where You are
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day

Oh Lord, lead us to a place, oh my
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
And every heart that's broken will be mended
And we'll remember we are all God's children
Reaching out to touch you, reaching to the sky

We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Needs to find a place
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Thinking of you often. As the holidays approach I will remember how we were always excited to celebrate. I remember Our First Christmas together. I just put out the ornament that we have from that Christmas. I miss you the same every day. It never changes. I love you, Bobby. You are part of my soul. You are never far from me. One day I will once again feel your hand holding mine, look up at you and lay my head on your shoulder. Until then I will forever remember and miss you.

You must be dancing and singing with joy to see that your life long wish is coming true....your children, lost to you for so long, are finding one another. I hate to say I told you so....but I did. I know you can't be physically here to experience it but I know that spiritually you know it's been happening. You just have to be patient. All things come about in their appropriate time. Still missing you and ALWAYS LOVING YOU.

I try NOT to remember dates like your birthday, the date that you passed away, etc. Tara always reminds me, though. Like you, she is good with numbers and can't forget dates even if she wants to. Everyday without you hurts. I miss you more each day. You don't get over loss. You just get through it. You never forget the love of your life. You can never be replaced in my heart. I gave you my heart on our first date. I KNEW you were different, special and already belonged to me. Just as I already belonged to you. Forever and Ever Amen

I have been waiting all day to leave you a message thinking of the right words to say I miss you very much and I hope that Mom and Dad are doing okay as well but I guess it's not that hard to say I miss you to someone who's gone so I say what's up to you cause you can't be gone if you remain in my heart

Just a note to say that I think about you all the time. My heart is still broken in a million little pieces. I don't cry because I am afraid that if I start I won't ever stop. I miss you my husband, best friend and father of our beautiful princess. We may have had our problems but loving one another was not one of them. Forever...Because.

We may have had our problems with each other but the family bond was always there no matter what, family is family! We all have our differences with each other its part of our family history to not talk to each other.I know i regret a lot of things i've done in my life one that hurts me to the core is me not talking to you more than i did.

Hey Bobby, its been 2 years but to me it still feels like you left us yesterday! Everyday i think about you& how much i miss you,how i wish we could spend a day together and talk about the faults we had with each other and fix them! One thing there was no fault with was our Love for each other as Brothers. that was a bond that was unbreakable

This might be cruel by some standards but I feel that I miss you more than anyone else. Man what I wouldn't give for an hour or two to talk with you now. Life changes and families change but our love for each other never fades.

I believe we all come back from time to time and relive parts of our lives that we must get right. Our souls travel a long way to see that we get things right. If this is true I hope we both get the chance to do it again and maybe be better at it. God bless you Bobby.

It's early in the day Rob, only 1:30 AM but I have to say I still miss you. I only wish that we were as close in our older years as we were in our younger years. As much as we fought, we looked out for each other.. I'm sorry if I didn't do as much as I could for you when you needed more than you asked for.I look forward to our next meeting together. Love u Bob.

Wish you were here to celebrate with us. I know you are as proud of her as I am. She is amazing and perfect in so many ways...AND..she is a 49er's fan. We will be routing for the 49er's today in the Super Bowl. I know you and Mom are routing for them too. Miss you baby--now and always

Outside our first “home” together. It was like living on a houseboat. You could stand in a room and look out any window and see water. Florida! One of my favorite pictures of you,  Bobby!

Loving You Is Easy

May 16, 2014
by Sharon Obrien

Just found a card that I wrote on July 18, 2008.  It was true then and remains true today....
Bobby,
Loving you is the easiet thing I have ever done.  It is like breathing to me--no thought, effort or trouble.  It is natural.
You are the only one in this world that I could sit quietly with for hours, never saying a word, and have a perfect conversation with.
Your smile, to me, is like sunshine lighting your face and making my world glow with warmth.
Your laughter, too seldom heard, is like a beautiful melody that touches my soul.
You are the missing piece of me that makes me whole.
I don't need to love you for any reason at all, even though you give me many reasons to love you.
I love you because you are a part of me.  The part that I needed to find and that no one else can be.

We talk everyday. You know how I feel and how much I wish I could change our past. But you got your wish Dad, Tara and I are the sisters we should have always been. There is so much I want to tell you. So much I wish you could hear me say. I know you do but for me it's just not the same. I am so sorry I believed her. I let her keep us apart. But I hope somewhere deep inside you, you knew I needed you. Knew I loved you. I read the letters from you every week. You told me you were proud of me...I never heard that before. Only from you Dad. I love you and I miss you so much. I promised you along time ago to be a good sister to Tara, I hope I am doing all that you have wished. I love you dad....wish you were here. Thank you for looking out for me from above. One day we will be together...until then....
