Rob,
You will never be prepared or ready for a moment so heartbreaking as losing the love of your life. Your heart will cry inside but nothing will come out. You will be numb and find that a moment as impossible as this could not be real. My love, my best friend, my man that gets me in a way no one ever will, my heart, amazing father of our kids, keeper of the house, adventurer, obscure, but cool, smart, handsome husband passed away. I go through so many moments in my mind wishing to live them all again. Like us drinking coffee together on the patio laughing at the kids…I think about our kids and the love they have for him and it makes me hurt a pain I can’t even describe. Tears well up as it starts to surface. My life feels frozen. It feels like I can’t move from this devastation. And I know there may come a time when I will feel less of this…but right now I just want to hold my babies, close my eyes and wake up to a new day where your passing never happened. There will never ever be another Rob. He was like no other. The most unique, kind-hearted, smart, honest, genuine, no BS, caring, funny, loving man. He brought to my life the deepest love. And I know he brought so much to so many people’s lives. He was so special in that way. His connections were always genuine. He’s someone you never forget. I just want to hug him and hold him and give him a kiss from here to eternity. I keep telling myself this isn’t real, that this can’t be real…my heart is smashed and I don’t know where to go from here. I don’t. When I sit here and think about all the people who loved him, my heart breaks in so many ways all over again; for my children for losing their father, for my mother-in-law for losing her son, for his sisters for losing their brother, Peter for losing his step son, my parents losing their son-in-law, my siblings losing their brother-in-law, our nieces and nephews losing their Uncle, cousins, aunts and uncles, Gram and Gene, best friends, great friends, lifelong friends and absolutely for myself for losing my husband who was more than just a husband to me….and for Rob…the weight I feel is unbearable…it crumbles me. I know our kids and my amazing family and friends will help to get us through, our love story just wasn’t over yet. You are in our hearts every day forever and always “Hun”. We love you beyond the moon, beyond the stars, beyond the galaxies… 143
