Good-bye
Just now, I read some news that just stopped me cold. Rob, from Gut Rumbles, passed away this morning. I remember when I first started blogging, I was invited to participate in a group blog featuring a little known Rob, Joanie as well as a few others. The rest, well, is history. Rob was such a tortured soul. At times, I wished I lived nearby in order to check on him or cook him a meal. Other times, I was horrified at his apparent behavior to people I considered close to me. Then, he would write a post with what he called "Random Linkage" and I'd find this written about me:
*This woman has been on my blogroll since I first had one. She is so got-dam sweet that she makes my belly hurt sometimes, but I've got a theory about "sweet" wimmen like that. Get 'em alone. In the dark. All by themselves, except for YOU. Those kind of sweetnesses have an inner slut tigress in them that is AWESOME!!!
Now, he's gone.
I wrote a comment in the last entry of his blog, the one his daughter wrote, expressing my sympathy. Then, I cried.
I will miss you Rob.

I wanted to call you to let you know, but I was away from home without my computer or address book when I heard.
We had some wonderful times, didn't we? I'll always remember Rob the way he was back then...all silver-haired and belligerent, funny and sweet, you know which Rob I mean.
Big hugs, Kate.

I wish I'd had your #, Kate. I would have called you when I called Joanie this morning.....
