Dear Mr. Bob,

I can't believe we entered 2010 without you. It has been almost 7 months. While this year has gone REALLY fast, it feels like you have been gone forever. I don't know how we went through the rest of this year without you. Tracey and Tommy, I believe, are still waiting on the OK to move to Charlotte, North Carolina for Tom's promotion. Clara is as beautiful as ever and you would be just as proud of her as your other grandchildren. Me, on the other hand I wouldn't be so sure. Remember that new school we were discussing about me going to? Well, I went and am there now. My grades aren't so great and they haven't progressed very much since the beginning of this school year. Mrs. Betty is preparing the house for sale in the next 5 years or so, it all depends on her retirement deal and if she can get healthcare.

I miss you, alot, alot, alot. We don't have movie night anymore Mrs. Betty and I. We don't go see all those movies that you would have seen. I have never seen Mrs. Betty more torn up than when you passed.

You were a grandfather to me, the grandfather that I never had. If I could rewind time, I would go back and I wouldn't give you lip about anything. I would say, "I love you Pop Livingston, and thanks for being to me what you are." Then I would say, "please don't drink anymore, I know it won't make a difference me telling you what to do, but it might would spare your life a little longer so you can atleast see your new Beautiful granddaughter, Clara.

Me and Mrs. Betty talk about you but not often. But, I do feel me and her are closer than ever before. I have done my best to take care of her for the time you have been gone, but now I can see she won't need me much longer because she is going up to Tracey's an awful lot. I know your dream for her was to move back home to wherever Tracey and Tommy are but I'm not ready for that yet. I just need a little more time.

I love you and miss you and wish I could go back in time and tell you that I love you, that I'm sorry for ever being disrespectful.

We all miss you an awful lot..

Love,

Joshman
