Everyone that takes the time to get to know me, I share with them my childhood. I was blessed to have the best childhood. I grew up along lake from property with my older Brother. I grew up with my two boy cousins and had an amazing fun, rough and tumble childhood. I am a tomboy to this day and grew up with my 1st cousin Bobby as true country kids. My cousin Bobby was exuberant, joyful, snd was extremely witty and quick witted. We Joked and teased and rubbed each other unmercifully and cackled with deep laughter. We pushed each other’s buttons and we quickly forgave each other. We grew up playing sports together. Baseball, kickball, tetherball, swimming, fishing, playing king of the raft, ice-skating, kickball, hide and go seek and riding dirt bikes! As we grew up and encountered each other in the world as teenagers and young adults, Bobby would always stop and say hey Cuz! We were always both so proud when we encountered each other and with both yell that’s my cousin! We grew up with very little family, but when we were out in the world, we claimed each other proudly! We reunited at a warehouse job and I knew that my cousin Bobby worked there. I had told some of my coworkers as a new worker that my cousin worked here. Out of nowhere Bobby appeared and we started having a conversation and I quickly started laughing uncontrollably. Bobby’s Humor and clever wit had me doubled over with laughter. The whole warehouse seem to stop and focus on us. When Bobby’s coworkers approached me and I said that’s my cousin we grew up together! He commented oh my gosh that is so cool!!! My cousin told all his coworkers proudly that’s my cousin! It was amazing out in the world to see each and still have our bond . When I got the call that my cousin Bobby had passed instead of feeling sad, I was flooded with all these wonderful memories of Bobby. The Holy Spirit quickly Entered my heart, and I felt such joy for the Lord Let me know that Bobby was received in heaven. He had Ascended and was with his Heavenly Father . Bobby was conflicted with low self-esteem at times and did not know his great value and worth in the world. The Lord entered my heart and assured me that Bobby was at joy and perfect peace and was shrouded with a cloak of purple and now knows his value and worth, and knows that he is the son of a King! The Lord Almighty has claimed my cousin Bobby as his. Booby was bright, smart and charismatic. I will always be proud that he is my cousin and MY FAMILY! I look forward to the day when I am reunited with my exuberant cousin, running through the Meadows with nature, laughing and running, rough and tumble fun with my spirited cousin!
