I am in shock, that today I found out that I have lost a great friend, who I have known for so so many years. Makes me think back to our last meeting for coffee, little did I know It would be the last ever. I had just sent him a message the other day, that I would call soon and set up another coffee date. The last time I picked him up, he did so well getting to the car from his new apartment. We have had a lot of talks over the years, and going for coffee when I was working in the mall. He offered to take me for my surgery in Napanee and home to Odessa a few years back. We always had long talks about the photos of all of the classic cars, that he had seen at the many big shows over the years. His collection of bull dogs was outstanding, as his love for the breed, and the love that he had for his beloved Ruffus, of whose picture I have.
He liked his new apartment, which he proudly showed me and I was also introduced to some people he had already met in the building.
I truly wish I had of known that he was in the Kingston Health Science Center, to talk again over coffee and pehaps share our good byes, but knowing Bob, he would rather have it this way. All the time we have been friends, I have always tried my best to keep up with Bob`s conversations, and keep his morale up too.
No more coffee meetings, just not will be the same.
