Thailand - as I see it.
A BITTERSWEET RETURN TO ROBS BELOVED FAMILY IN CHAING MAI
It seemed like a long flight from Ft Myers, Florida to Chiang Mai, but I arrived safe and sound. Ahn, her sister, and Tyler were there to meet me. What a cherished sight. All I could do was hold back the tears when I saw them. It is hard to believe that Rob will no longer come home to his beautiful home and beautiful family. All he really wanted in the world was to be with Ahn and Tyler and William and that was the one thing he couldn't have.
He bought them a brand new car that holds 6 maybe more and a huge trunk for suitcases etc. He made sure their home was made to order as he had two king size beds in the boys room. A large built in closet with lots of mirrors, and a large built on desk for each of the boys which will last them when they are as big or larger than their daddy.
Rob had two wall hangings made with each of the boys and Ahn had them framed and put over each bed. One with Tyler's name and one with William's name. Ah
n had many pictures framed of Daddy and the boys to hang near the large wallhangings.
Rob's picture is in each room with Ahn, Tyler, William and sometimes Willi and me, BuYah, grandma and grandpa.
Rob was a kind, gentle, loving and attentive father and husband and he will be greatly missed.
Since I have arrived, many friends, colleagues, family, and students have come to pay their respects. They were all shocked to think he would not return to Thailand where he was greatly admired and loved.
Everywhere we go we remember our good times together with Rob. The massages, the many different restaurants, the wats, the waterfalls, the drives in the country, the motorbike rides, the Christian Church Rob chose because they had Englush translators. We remember the excellent bilingual school Rob chose for Tyler and soon for William.
Rob will live on in our hearts and in the hearts and memories of many who cared for him or for whom he took care of.
