Remembering Bob
Sometimes it seems like a lifetime ago; sometimes it seems like yesterday - it's been thirty years since Bob was killed.
You would have liked him. He had a rapport with young and old alike. He was from a close-knit family and learned, by example, to be an honest and caring person. He loved to ride his motorcycle, play his guitar and was an amazing artist. The little kids in the neighborhood followed him like the Pied Piper. He enjoyed teaching them to play baseball and fly model planes. Of course, that also gave him an excuse to be a kid.
He was my first love. He would have made a good life-partner, but we only had six months of married life before he left for Vietnam. He would have made a terrific dad, but there wasn't time for that either. He didn't want to go to Vietnam, but he believed in serving his country. His letters never spoke of what he was going through, only about our future. I am so proud of him and his sacrifice.
He has been my Guardian Angel all these years. His presence helped me through the darkest of times. I thank him for being there for me when I really needed him.
I would also like to thank Ed, my wonderful husband of twenty-eight years for being so understanding and supportive of this special part of my life. It is with his encouragement that I am writing these thoughts.
Sincerely,
Judy Gurr
