On Thursday March 4th we got to go to Lily’s wedding reception! They got married in the temple that morning with just parents and grandparents! And then they had an amazing reception at Wadley Farms in the castle. They had a dinner and toast and cake cutting and dancing and dessert! It was so fun and they were so happy and so in love!
Ray was helping Tiago read his baggy books. Most nights Ray reads to Tiago up in their beds 🙂
Man – Still Missing my dad! So many Great Pictures of him and the life he lived. I walked away from the funeral and all of the hoopla just thinking what a good man he was. He didn’t have much materially but he just loved people. He always served in the church and always took care of his family and all 100 of our friends. One of the things that stuck with me was a 30ish year old girl that showed up with pizza for the family because she had called the RS and wanted to help. Someone asked who she was and who she was here for – meaning – which Robertson kid is she the same age as and hung out with… – the answer was that she was here for Dad. Dad was her bishop and loved her and treated her kindly and reached out to her. I loved that.
A couple days after the funeral we all got these pictures on our group me messages from “dad” when Mom started up his phone. Looks like he was trying to send us this last picture the day he passed away. It was weird to see a new picture of him after he was already gone. One of the hardest parts about losing dad was that we couldn’t be with him. These Covid restrictions have been crazy and sad. We just wanted to talk to him and encourage him and even just to be able to SEE how he was doing or SEE what he needed. I felt so out of touch with him. He only talked on the phone once or twice a day so we didn’t get to see him or hear him. Dad was such a people person – I’m sorry that he had to die without his people.
On Tuesday we drove home. We had a good, productive, special time in CA. It was everything that I hoped it would be. When we got home we found a VERY clean house and lots of food and flowers and notes of love! We have such good friends! They snuck in and left our home sparkling clean and the kids were loving these new squishmallows!
We also found a pretty sad Brewer. He keeps breaking open his foot surgery wound and trying to rub his eye on everything so he was having a hard time healing. Also Rose and Raymond both missed their battle of the books at the school. We were pretty sad about that. But it was good to be home and getting back to the grind.
