But today I’m going to address you, since you moved with our Heavenly Daddy/Father/Holy Spirit and are now together with other familia, especially grandpa who made you laugh so hard. Wait till you meet the rest of the family if you haven't already. Bobby, this is going to be different than what people asked me to do, because I can't seem to let go of your presence. So mama is just going to talk to you. Yes, I know people will judge me but Mijo, when has that stopped me. Baby, we tried to protect you and help you in any way we could. Your Grandparents on both sides taught us about Jesus Christ/Heavenly Daddy. Before you or your sisters were ever born, my goal was to make sure you knew who he was because I knew this life was temporary. My goal was to protect you from ever feeling like you were alone spiritually even though you had rough patches and felt alone physically. I felt I could not protect you 24 hours 7 days a week but Jesus Christ could. I was not only trying to move mountains here on Earth but my ultimate concern was not to lose you eternally because I wanted to keep you safe eternally and I didn't want you in pain eternally. I could not bare it. I guess I’m extreme. However, you made it Mijo, Your Heavenly Daddy showed me and your Daddy in vision so we are broken and miss you, but at the same time are grateful you are home and having a great time. Here on earth my biggest concern was giving you the experiences like every child has on this earth even if I looked like a fool. I only cared about putting a smile on your face, so I was the crazy mom that jump into the water on outside water hose in out door summers water events with the kindergarten children, do you remember? I felt judged but you were so worth it. I loved it when you got involved in advocating for the disabled/special challenged. We went before Teachers, Principles, Senators, and House Representatives to make a difference, remember? I'm sorry I couldn't get you a walker or standard when you were younger or a C 500 standard Permobil in 2010. But at least we got to borrow them to try to get them. That was fun. I always ask myself if, what would have happened if we'd succeeded, would you still be with me? Would you be on your feet instead of needing all those surgeries. I still ask myself could have done more? I guess I'm asking myself, did I do enough, for you Papito. I tell you this because I’m broken and all these thoughts have been in my heart and head since you left. Bobby, I know you are literally running around and I should not worry any more but you and your sisters are like the heart that keeps me alive. You flesh of my flesh and I feel like part of my heart was torn out. Mommy and Daddy will be OK because we have your sisters here and we have to now fight to stay for them. We are fighting so hard to stay strong but we already miss you so much. Tell our Heavenly Daddy , Jesus and the Holy Spirit we need extra back up here on earth and tell them, I said thank you and that I Love them sooooooo much. I know I can in prayer and I will again but I want them to hear it from you. You probably already did but you know me. I promise after today I'll stop trying to tell you what to do. Bobby thank you for showing us what Life, Happiness, Joy, Laughter and Peace truly was through your life here on earth. Because when I even thought to complain I saw you never complaining so I kept silent. You taught me without ever opening your mouth. The only time I really got super loud was when I was fighting for your sisters and your rights and I'm sorry I got loud and rude at times with others when they would not listen, in those times. Thank you for trying to help others with your life in the Disabled/Special Challenged community on earth. Now rest and have fun, OK, Mijo. We Love you and already miss you so much, Mom and Dad Eldalee G. Cook and Theodore P. Cook
