BOB BLACKSTONE - Such a Wonderful Man. Sadly passed away on the 19th August 2006.
He had just had his 51st birthday on July 22nd. He was diagnosed with Lung Cancer which had spread to his brain. Bob was a Police Officer serving in the Met for 30 years. He served at Hayes Police Station before going on to become a detective..He began riding a motorbike and went on to be one of the best undercover motorcylist's in the Met. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Leaving behind his wife, children and grandchildren.
We had only 10 weeks from diagnosis, such a very short time to try and understand what was happening let alone begin to accept it all. Bob was such a Wonderful Husband, Dad, Grandad, Brother, Son, Uncle and friend and was taken away from us much too soon. We all love and miss him so very much.
We miss you so much Dad...Keep looking after Mum
We love You x x x x
God saw you getting tired,
a cure was not meant to be.
so he put his arms around you,
and whispered 'come with me'.
with broken hearts we loved you,
as we watched you pass away.
although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
your golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
god took you up to heaven,
to prove he only takes the best.
Bob was my best friend in the whole world. He was my happiness, my smile, my warmth in life. My best friend, my soulmate. He would do anything for me. I was his princess. He adored me and I adored him. He was happy, if I was happy. We knew that we had a special relationship. One that was envied by many. We would always thank God for all the good things we had in life, we knew we were lucky, we never took that for granted.
Bob was taken away from us so quickly, we hardly had time to come to terms with his illness, before he closed his eyes and said goodbye.
The light in my life has gone out and in its place there is a deep, deep sadness. Bob was one in million, quiet, undemanding, strong and fair. He was generous and caring and always there to lend a helping hand when called upon. I will miss him forever. I will love him for eternity. My life will never be the same without him.
All My Love .... from Your Poppet X X X
♥ TODAY ღ
ღ Lyndie Sorenson ♥ღ♥
Today it hurt like yesterday...
tomorrow will be the same
Only the day and date will change...
the rest will all remain.
♥ღ♥
When someone asks me how I am...
or what it is I do?
The answer to those questions are...
I wish I were with you.
♥ღ♥
There is no way to explain this pain...
or how it is I feel
I try to get up every day...
and somehow try to deal.
♥ღ♥
Although it seems as if I'm fine ...
I've learned how to just hide
I place a mask upon my face...
and keep it deep inside.
♥ღ♥
I cry when no one is around...
can't face what they might say
I have heard so many hurtful words...
I have felt so very betrayed.
♥ღ♥
They think time heals everything...
but that just is not true
I know I will not heal...
being left here without you.
♥ღ♥
Each morning when I wake up...
the sorrow is still here
I wish this was some big mistake...
that I have lived for years.
♥ღ♥
All I have are pictures ...
and my many memories
That often are so painful...
that never will be eased.
♥ღ♥
I long to have you back with me...
but know it won't come true
I will never have that life again...
that life with me and you. ♥ღ♥
Thinking of you always and remembering the help and comforting messages you sent my way Bob. Love and Hugs to you and your wonderful family. XX

Nearly 4 yrs
Hello My Darling
here we are again, coming up to another anniversary...... 4 yrs.... and STILL I miss you, with every part of me.
My life is still full of confusion and insecurities. I long to have you back in my life, but sadly I know that cannot happen. I will never, ever forget you...... I loved you too much in life for that to happen. I want to be happy Bob............. a little help would be good.
Forever yours.................xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello My forever.......
Hello My Darling
I'm still missing you.
My days are filled with many things and people and places, which I go to and enjoy but, do you know what ? You're not there and I still long to see, hear, smell and touch you. I miss us, what we had, what we did and how we where. I miss our happiness.
I try to do things that will make me happy. I try and live my life, but I am always searching for the security I had with you...... and it's not there anymore, I watch other couples living their mundane lives, like we did. Who would ever think that mundane could be missed so much !.... I feel sadness for MY loss ...... I continue to be in a free fall situation. Will it ever be right for me again Bob ?
Please continue to watch over me and guide me Bob. I love you..... STILL..... forever and always yours x x x x
PS..... have you seen Mum yet...hope you two have made up x
Hiya Bob, hope you are doing ok there. I was just going to ask you to keep an eye out for my young sister in law who's just joined you. She's had a bad few years and probably needs cheering up. Maybe you could look out for her. Her name's Emma Laidlaw and she died on 9th April. She's only 40 and a great laugh I am sure you would enjoy her company. Keep the jokes clean though. Best wishes. Terry
Dad...
It's looking like Nan is on her way up to you.... Please look after her for mum.
Her operation didn't go to plan and mum is on her way up to hammersmith now. Doctors don't think she can pull through........
Please try and be with them both tonight.....Especially mum.
I love you and miss you everyday .........
All my love as always

Hello my darling Bob
Hello darling
How lovely that your friends from work still think of you....Terry, if you read this...THANKYOU for leaving a message..it means so much x.
Well Christmas and New year are done ...again.... and I STILL wonder...how, why. I STILL have to brace myself when I say the words...My husband is dead...My Bob died from cancer, such harsh words. Oh My God !!! Do you know what Bob ?...It's like, it's only now I can see clearly, really acknowledge what has happened. I think I have been living in some sort of bubble, being protected by...god knows what. BUT, now I can see and I can see what I have left and I need to re build a life. I so miss US..................... You will always be in my heart and soul. You will always be my forever, forever. I love and miss you so much.
Next week will be my 50th ...do you remember what we had planned???? We were going to have a party, a princess party where all the girls wore tiara's and all the men wore siuts...I was so looking forward to that :( Still life goes on, my life goes on. Stay with me Bob, I need you STILL x x x
Thinking of you Bob
Hey Bob, just a note to say how much you are missed by your colleagues with your cracking sense of fun and humour.Its been a while now but just seeing you there with that big smile on your face always cheers me up..I hope you've been given a decent motorbike up there and you're still riding to the system! All the best pal. Terry
Happy New Year Dad....
Time passes by so quickly for us...
I often wonder if it passes as quick for you?
If it does you'll know that I STILL can't believe you're gone.
Dad......??
I so miss calling someone that.
I miss you.

Christmas Love X
Hello My Darling
Here we are again..... me sending you love to Heaven, but so badly wishing you were here to feel that love ...STILL. I miss you so much Bob. I was reaclling today our last Christmas, I wonder would we have changed anything if we knew it was your last one !
Christmas is so different as is my entire life without you. So many things I cherished and held dear to me have gone...... including family. I am so lucky to have my children, Bob. They have loved and supported my every day. Ruby will be enjoying her 1st Christmas and will be with me and Kieran tomorrow. A new family staring over, this one will never break !
I love you and will forever miss you my darling Bob.
Happy Christmas to you.
Please find my dad and give him a squeeze from me.
Love as always
