And Bob said


to my sister, when I left the room:

"Diane," and he pointed in my direction. 
"I want to kiss her... and, um, but..." 
he pointed to his mouth, 
"not working...hurt..."

"And want to..."
He touched his hand to his chest, 
"open my heart...
"my heart to her... but..."
He touched his forehead,
"...all fucked up."

I tell you, sometimes I am just filled with the saddest joy.

I believe there is no greater love than what you have for Bob, and Bob has for you. Soulmates, possibly .... lifemates for sure.

Hugs and prayers, Dan
