I have had this bank since Bob passed away four years ago. It was in his office. I was completely surprised and touched by the message I found inside.
There was one wheat penny, so only one collectible coin. Still, the money wasn’t important. It was the message that touched my heart.
Bob continues to surprise me.
I will love and miss you forever.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

It would be 49 years today. Too bad Bob isn’t here to celebrate with me.
Missing the love of my life, but celebrating all the years we had together.
Our four wonderful children are the product of our love. I couldn’t ask for more.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Friday used to be Fleet Farm shopping day with Bob.
I continue to check out the ads. When I do stop at Fleet Farm, I remember following Bob through the aisles in search of things he needed.
The last time I was there I came home with dog food, cat food, and wild bird food. For old-times sake, I also walked through the tool department, thinking of Bob.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

We were in Bob’s Impala that day. It was his first car. Up until he bought that car, he used the farm truck. Neither of us knew that it would turn into a special day for us. I can’t believe it is 49 years since he proposed. Listen to my account of Bob’s proposal.
August 8, 1973, was the day Bob finally asked the big question.
It’s a good memory, but a little tough, too.
I sure do miss my soulmate. Love you forever, Bob.
