10 Months, it has only been a moment that has lasted forever since I hugged you and kissed you goodnight. I don't know how I am going to keep on going. I live day by day, often hour by hour to get past the pain that will not go away. Our newest little lima bean is starting to show. We will find out soon if it is a boy or a girl. I will make sure your memories and stories are passed down and remembered. So many things bring a rush of memories and emotions that I seem to be triggered by the littlest things for you, from the growing daffodils to a few notes from a song. I hope you had the time of your life with me, Love Rob 4112

9 Months. I still cannot believe that every day still starts and you are not there to share it with. I remember our last hug and kiss, thank you for still wanting my love right up till that last day. I still hear you calling me in the night, I wake up as soon as i hear your voice and look for you. I cannot imagine going through the rest of my life like this, but I know I am needed here for now. You are going to be a great grandma again and I will make sure to tell her (?) about you and how you are her guardian angel. How far can you see from where you are? Can you see the beautiful days to come? They are still empty without you in them but I carry you in my heart when I see them and know you are in the place that finally has given you peace and to be with the other people you love and were separated from for a while. 4143

Happy New Year Angel! I may be the only person in the world that doesn't want they earth end. It just takes you further from me. I can't imagine saying you passed away last year. The only up is it is closer to being with you again. Love you and miss you more. 4152

Merry Christmas Angel! I can't believe that time has kept going when I feel like I am still trapped back on the worst day of my life. I miss you so much and i try to distract myself with just about anything I can, but every quiet moment brings me back to you and hole you left in my life. I hope you are happy with how I am trying to take care of our family. I can never replace you, I just hope I can remember the love and let the pain go. Miss you lots, but love you more. 4159

8 Months - 244 days and I still feel you close by, but I am missing you more in the quiet moments. I try to stay busy, but those don't last very long. I want to hear your voice, but if I listen to a recording it tears me apart. I can't imagine this for the next 20 years. Love you more, Me 4174.

Happy Thanksgiving Angel, I am sure you are having an even grander meal with your Mom, Gary, Dad and just about anyone else you can wrangle into showing up (maybe Elvis?). Miss you something fierce, but I am still doing most of your traditions to keep you here. Love you more, Me 4187

7 Months... 214 days. You are still in every thought. Moments I am okay and the next I can feel the whole in my chest throb. I am still finding my way back to good. Not there yet, may never get there, but I will keep trying. 4204

Happy Anniversary Angel! 21 years, 7671 days ago you made me the happiest I had been in my whole life. 211 days ago, that world fell apart. I am rebuilding but today hurts so much. I can feel your pull. Love you more, 4207 to go.

6 Months and it still hurts like a shotgun blast to the chest. I miss you constantly, so many things bring up memories and emotions that I am unsure what I am going to do. I may not move on, but I am trying to move forward. 4236 days to go, Love you and talk to you soon.

It was a beautiful ceremony yesterday. I could feel you standing with me while I gave the toast to Jamie and Austin. They even had your photo as a reminder to the angels that were watching from the best seat in the house. Miss you and love you more. Talk with you soon.
Rob posted on 8/10/20
Angel, it has been 4 months and you are still in every thought I have. I still can't see my life without you, but that is okay, you will always be with and that helps. I just wish your we could talk again. Love you Angel.
Rob posted on 7/9/20
It has been 3 months and I still expect to see you or hear your voice. I am just beginning to learn how to be me with out being us. Part of me will always be us. At least I get to talk to you in my dreams and that helps the nights pass. Loving you more,
Rob posted on 6/9/20
It has been two months and I miss you so much that it feels like a punch to the stomach when a memory hits me. All the things we did and still wanted to do bring smiles and tears. I am still waking up expecting to see you or hear you and yet our home is so quiet and empty. You are and will always be wife and true love.
Rob posted on 5/20/20
It has been 40 days and 40 nights since you passed. I have survived my flood. I miss you terribly, but I will survive and keep you with me. I will take care of OUR family and do my best to keep them safe and give them the life you wanted to.
Rob posted on 5/9/20
It has been a month and I am still learning to breath again. I am still learning to work around the hole you left in my heart and my life. I will figure it out, but it will take time. I Love You.

Angel, it seems to be a moment and forever since I was with you. I am stuck in time and things go on around me. I miss you terribly. Moments I am doing okay and then I want to turn to you and tell you something and then the hole in heart grows a little bit more.
Stan Ripley posted on 4/13/20
Robert, I am so saddened for your loss and hope that time will soon replace your current sadness with wonderful memories of your life with Susan.

I am so sorry to hear of Susan passing. Growing up we were never allowed to refer to each other as "half" brother or sister. She was a sweet person who made me laugh. You will be missed Susan. May you rest in piece.

Happy Valentine's Day Angel! We are flying towards it being a year of you being gone. It still seems to only be a moment ago I gave you hug and kissed you goodnight for the last time. I loved you thick and thin and now through time and space, forever you will be with me in my heart. 4107
