Some of the hardest moments for me are seeing my mom sad and lonely in the midst of not having her companion, soulmate there. I also at times just would like a little conversation with dad just to hear his voice, because at this point its hard to remember that and I don't want to forget. One of the biggest things that is weighty on my heart a lot is what dad is not able to be a part of on this earth, yet he is with our Lord, I can't imagine! I wish he could hug and kiss (and spoil) little Zoe and see her live life. Here is what is so great though, is I see so many things in Zoe that remind me of dad, thank you Jesus for that. I look forward to telling Zoe more and more about "Papa Bob" as well as with our other children. I laugh often thinking of how my dad would interact with Zoe, I would probably be a "nobody" as he took her to do whatever in the world she wanted to do! Thank you Lord that I can see you at work in the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thank you that even in the heaviness I can praise You and I trust You.
This pic is from back in May, but my dad loved loved balloons. At birthdays you usually got a bushel of balloons! I didn't capture a good picture at Zoe's birthday, but mom did great getting lots of balloons, and then we released a bunch for you dad, so this one is for you too!!
Praying for you Court. Thanks for sharing this.
