RememberingRob6
Lord, it's me again, always needing you...
I don't just need the Lord though. I need all of you to see me
through. I have been reading a few more emails & still 600+ left
to go. I try to get them all here. Each small note, each large one...all
contain love & prayers & kindness unending. I feel your prayers.
I wish I could answer all of you, but, I can't manage that. Today is Valentine's
Day. I remember a year ago when I had a sweetheart in the hospital &
took him a HUGE Helium Valentine & watched his eyes light up like stars.
He was so very sick then. I am grateful though, for the time we got to spend
since then, a few more months together. However, although Rob is gone this
Valentine's, I do have a lot of 'sweet' 'hearts' out there in the world,
thinking & praying & sending me words of love & comfort. I
am reading a book sent from a friend, 'Grieving Christian', by Zig Zigler.
It says that grieving gives us a greater capacity to love...this may be true
as I read the book, read all your emails, receive cards & calls, from
online AND offline...all those deeds of kindness seem to fill my heart with
love. So, on this Valentine's, I send you all my love, & remember to
always love one another... Patsy xoxoxo

i know i am very late in writing you
a note, but i just don't know what to say. any standard stuff sounds
so trite and any thing else, like Rob being in heaven is wonderful, but
doesnt fill the void left in your life
i trust that you too know Jesus Christ as your Saviour
and you will have to rely on Him more than ever. Phillipians 4:19
But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory
.....no one is richer than God, He keeps His promises and He will and can
supply all your spiritual, physical and emotional needs

Thank YOU!
It's taken me this long to say Thank You! I loved Rob too!
I saved all his mails! They were always so inspirational! And
today the one that you sent, Patsy, was very inspriational too! Like
Rob, I'm on disability too.....well, I'm waiting for the appeal to go
through. It's a tough deal and I appreciate so much what he tried
to do for others! But Rob lifted my spirits and gave me something
to hope for! I could only hope to be as wonderful as he is.
If good and loving thoughts give someone wings in heaven......then your
dear Rob.......has wings to soar anywhere he wants to go and I know that
he has sent special guardian angels to watch over you and to guide you....or
you wouldn't have sent out the message from Rob that you did today.
Thank You! You've both been a blessing to me!

Patsy this is on my hubbies memorial picture
I hope it helps you some as I know that you are grieving a hundred tears
I wrote earlier but just wanted to write this to you in hopes that it helps
some I read it from time to time to remind me .......
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for I am free.
I'm following the path God has laid for me .
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day ,
to laugh, to love, to work, to play.
tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My lifes been full I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undo grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now , He set me free.
Boy oh boy what tears flow as I read this Whew. Well I hope you are
doing ok?? I am hoping time is healing some at least.

Hi Patsy,
I don't know you personally but I've been a subscriber of your newsletter
for some time and I've had you and your family in prayer. I just
read some
of the emails you received and my, what a man Rob was. He's left
a legacy
only few can achieve in this life. I'm sure he's walking and talking
with
the Lord and not hurting and breathing well and all that now.
I do hope
that you're doing ok and know how much you all are loved by so many.
Love
via the internet you say? Yes, as we share our lives with wit
and tears,
wisdom and those crazy goofs we do, we come to know each other in a
close
way. I've come to look forward to your special little notes that
open your
newsletters, sharing about the weather, the people you've spent time
with
and how you and Rob spent your days. It has been a pleasure to
know you.
I hope that you can have a good week, let God carry you in His arms
this
week and let those "angels with skin on" (friends) help you through
the
days ahead. God be with you, Colleen P

Patsy,
I hope things are starting to ease a little for you.
I know things will never be the same, but just
remember -God has a plan for all of us. There is a
reason for things that happen--even though it hurts -
we have to accept and keep our faith. I think you're
an incredibly giving woman in all you do for others
and I am sure I am not the only one that feels that
way. Take care of yourself

Dear Patsy...I'm so sorry to hear of the
loss of your husband...I read your letter through Haunted House O Freebies
and I really felt sad for you. The only comfort at such a time is Faith...It

Hi, Patsy -
I cannot even begin to convey how sorry I am for your tremendous loss.
I do
not have words that could provide comfort, other than to let you know that
I
care so, so deeply.
I know you are inundated with probably thousands of e-mails right now.
So
if you happened across this one, please do not feel pressured to respond.
No response is necessary. This is just a note to let you know I wish
could
change all of this for you.

We are sending you our prayers in this time of need. This has been a tough
year for you all. Its been tough on our family also. We have spent alot of
time praying and our family has started going to church more often. My father
has been in the hospital in Arizona, my sister-in-law had a brain tumor removed
and just found out yesterday that the radiation that she had to kill off the
last 1 percent didn't take and my husband's aunt has lung cancer. We will
keep you all in our prayers.

Dear Patsy,
I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. I know what it's like
to lose someone so very close to your heart, and not feel
complete without having them in your life. Although, everyone's
loss is unique to the individual, and no one can ever no exactly
how someone else feels in a very similar circumstance, since no
experience is exactly the same. Some times it just hurts too
much to talk, and other times that's all you want to do is talk.
I hope you can find a calming peace in your heart & know that
Rob will be with you, always-- even when you feel you've been
completely deserted.
If at any time you feel the need to talk to someone, but cannot
find anyone, I'm here.
God Bless you & Take Good Care of YOU.
Warmest Regards,

My love and sympathy.
I share your grief because I am suffering
with the lost of my husband and
with a heart problem too. He has been gone for over two years and
to this
date, I have not cope with his passing and I too do not know what to do
without my husband. Perhaps we can be helping each other cope with
our
problem. I hardly leave the house, I stayed in our room and
didn't want to
meet people. I stay away from families and didn't want to talk to
anyone.
The pain just doesn't want to go away. I say the rosary everyday,
sometime
three times and my pain just doesn't want to go away. My deepest sympathy
for your loss and may God help you through the days of your life.
Take care
and be around your children.

I feel that I know you both
through your wonderful, friendly newsletters. I had hoped you and
he might
be able to come south and I could meet you somewhere around Atlanta.
I'll
keep you in my prayers ... it's always so hard to lose someone you love
and
it always seems so ... almost trite ... to say at least he's no longer in
pain, but we do know that's true. The family and friends are the ones
who
are hurting now. The pain will eventually wear away for most of the
time
even though there will be so many things you need to discuss something with
him and then you realize he's not there in person. He will be there
with
you, though, in your heart and you can talk to him that way.
Please know that all of your e-friends are praying for you and hurting for
you.

Re: A New Star
Patsy, I just got to yesterdays email; I'm so sorry. I know
right now you probably can't or don't agree with what I'll say but, I know
how you must be feeling. I say this as someone who also lost the love
of thier life. When I was 27 my husband died and my sister-in-law (whose
husband died 6 months earlier) said those words to me. I thought how
dare she she hasn't a clue how I feel how wrong I was every time I hear someone
has lost a true love I go back to June 30, 1986 and remember. You will
never forget but, someday you'll be able to remember without crying or a lump
in your throat.
I had a lot of people try to tell me what stage of grief I should be in
and I always seemed to be two stages behind or ahead and I kept thinking
what's wrong with me I'm in the wrong stage. Well I finally saw a book
in which this woman said the same thing about stages and thought something
was wrong with her. When she realized (I don't remember how) that she's
normal and you can be in whatever stage you need to be in and when you must
do it; in fact you may go through some stages more than once.
I did get told a couple of very comforting things most were personal and
I'll be happy to share if you ever want to hear/read them. I will tell
you the most comfort I got was when I was told - When someone you love leaves
this world a new star is placed in the sky. God does this in honor of
the one you love so you go out find the brightest star that's where God has
Rob so you can still see him and he can still watch over you. You can
yell at this star, laugh, cry, talk, or just admire your star whatever makes
you feel better. I still tell my star (Andy) how much I love him and
it's been 17 and 1/2 years.
I still have what I call Andy moments and those are the times I remember
occasionally I get a good cry going, or a lump or just smile sometimes I even
laugh out loud. I've been very fortunate to find a second soulmate he
always has accepted my star -my Andy moments- I believe that in some way Andy
led me to where and who I needed to be with and will continue for as long
as I live I also believe he's my gaurdian angel now. I believe
Rob will do the same for you. Be patient with yourself you'll laugh
again until then cry as much as you need to. Always praying for you
my online friend. Rita D

Dear Patsy, I just started getting
your mail , and I wanted to say I am sorry for your loss. I too, lost my husband
of thirty - five years. He was also my best friend , and a father to our
son. The pain gets a little softer at times but he will always be with you
as my husband is with me. Just try to keep busy , and it will get a little
easy. You see my husband left to be with God on May 28., 2001 . But it seems
,like a short while ago. But then we do have our memories. They will last
a lifetime.
Good luck , and prayers are with you.

Hello Patsy,
I'm so sorry for your loss of your dear husband. People say it get easier
with times but sometimes i don't believe it myself because it will be 10 years
in June that i lost my grandfather and believe there days that i wish i was
the one who died instead of him; like your husband my grandfather was a very
caring man and these are the person who dies to young but when God want's
them by his side there's no stopping him. I do believe that one day i will
joined him and i'm sure you will too but in the mean time we have to be strong
and carry his love in our heart.
Again i'm so sorry for your loss. Shirley

Hi Patsy ~ Just checking in to see how you
are doing. Always remember to take it one day at a time. Sometimes
you have to take it hour by hour but you will make it. You are a very strong
person and even though you are feeling an emptiness that no one else can
fill, just Remember that Rob has not stopped loving you & will always
be there for you. Please Believe me! It is true.
You just can not touch him right now, but if you listen to your heart, you
will hear what he wants to tell you. But I want you to know that there
are times when I will be sleeping & I dream that Dean has his arms wrapped
around me & it is one of those comforting dreams that you "feel" &
wake up knowing that it is going to be alright. I have talked to many
others who have experienced the same thing.
As for no one else loving you - you are Loved by so many , many people.
Every day that you put out your newletter, you touch the lives of so many
people out there. I know, it isn't the same kind of Love that Rob gave to
you, but I think that God always has a plan for us & I have to think
of it as maybe he wants me to take the time to share our Love in many different
directions. Did I tell you what my daughter told me when my Mother
passed away?
My Mom & Dad (stepfather) were so very close that they didn't think they
could breathe if the other one was more than a couple of minutes away.
When my Mom passed away, my daughter was about 10. She told me that
Grandma had to go to Heaven first (according to what she felt God had planned
for my parents). This way my Mom could "prepare" the new house that
God had given them & when it was time for Grandpa to be there, the house
would be all ready so they could enjoy the rest of eternity together.
My father passed away the following year. When Dean died the year after that,
she again told me that "You know Mom, we have such a large family that Dad
is going to be busy for quite awhile getting our houses built for all of
us". My husband was a Building Contractor. So that is how we
had to look at it. That he has gone away for awhile to "prepare" all
of our Beautiful homes for the family. And that Grandma & Grandpa will
be there to help him out if he needs any help or advice. For some reason
this was the most comforting of anything that anyone had said & it
is what I come back to & it keeps me on track.
I have not been doing my newsletter for couple months now as I tried to switch
to DSL around Thanksgiving time. I still do not have it hooked up &
it has caused me a lot of "internet connection" problems. I have a
contact number now that is supposed to get this fixed for me. They sent me
all the "wrong" stuff so it won't work right now & I have to use a temporary
connection. It is costing me a fortune so I have to get this resolved
right away. The Web Site is still up & running @ http://www.gattic.com & I'll get back
to the newsletter very soon I hope.
Hang in There & Please Know that You are Loved By Many, Pat :-)

Dear Patsy,
I am a regular reader of HHOF and I am saddened to hear of the loss of you
husband. My heart and prayers go out to you. I just wanted to let you know
that others are thinking of you at this time of sorrow. You are not alone
and remember your husband will be with you everyday. Enjoy your memories
and
make them lighten your days. Remember we really never lose the ones we love,
they live forever, deep inside our hearts. You must be experiencing so many
different emotions right now, from the pain of losing someone you loved so
deeply to the comfort that comes in knowing that your loved one is no longer
suffering. And even though words can't take away the sorrow you are feeling,
I hope that you find serenity in knowing that your care, love, and courage,
have meant so much to the one you loved. And somehow, in some small way,
that makes a difference and brings you peace. At this very difficult time,
remember that you are not alone. You are in our thoughts and prayers. With
the most deepest sympathy, Laurel J. M

want
you to be happy.
Prayers and Hugs to you

Patsy -
I am reaching out to you through prayer asking that our Lord and Saviour
Jesus give you, your family, and friends the strength to get through this
sad time in your life. I have no magic words or anything like that
- just
the knowledge that through Jesus, our Father is able to do things for us
that no one else could do for us, comfort us like no one is able to do, and
give the inner peace and strength to endure times such as this.
Patsy, I never met you, but because of the willingness of Carmen to be used
as a tool and messenger for Jesus, please know that (and this IS true, only
God knows how many) you are being lifted up in prayer by so many more people
than you will ever know. It is also my prayer that knowing that will
also
give you strength and comfort.
A brother in the Spirit of our Lord -
Thom
