Oh John.It seems everytime I read a blog on John Robert, I cry tears anew.
I’ve always felt this spiritual link with you but after having lost my father and then I almost lost Andrew, I feel a different kind of link.
I could feel your pain before, but now I feel it in another kind of way.
It hurts bad.I’m glad you got to reconnect with John Roberts friends. You and Maggy both needed that, as did his friends.
John Robert’s absence will forever be felt. Even by me, who never met him and live on the West Coast.

So glad that those boys gave you the gift of their presence and the shared love of your son. It reminds me of a short story I cut out of a magazine and taped in my Bible years ago…

‘A little girl came home from a neighbor’s house where her little friend had died.
“Why did you go?” questioned her father.
“To comfort her mother,” said the child.
“What could you do to comfort her?”
“I climbed into her lap and cried with her.”

God bless <

Still say a prayer for you from time to time. Still can’t understand how you hold on… to be honest I hope I never do.

But I’m glad you do.

This one made me well up a little. The way he is remembered by family and friends is such a tribute to John Robert.
