Eight Years Later…
The one constant on any journey, is that no matter how much we think we know where we're headed, because we read a map - what we really see and actually experience can't be foretold.
One day you're going along, you try something you've never done before and then... oh, this is interesting. You find yourself sharing this road with someone in a similar situation. It's not like you didn't have a tight support group before, but now the world opens up in a different and special way.
Building upon the years of joy and deep love... you find you have an opportunity to keep that energy moving in a wonderfully, positive way. You don't retreat and continue to travel with an even bigger heart.
This year, for the days between, perhaps you'll share this space as well - and feel the nudge to tell more of the stories behind these images, which opens up opportunities for new laughs, smiles and cherished glances.
Or... this is still a place of relative solitude for you, meant to be shared down the pike.
In any event, you know that you're not alone and never really are.
With our hearts full of love, we come back to look upon these images, remember wonderful times and raise a glass (or several) to his memory.
Bob's family is very grateful to each and every one of you.
*Days Between is a tradition of remembering a loved one, when the day they were born and the day they departed are close together.
