Farewell my love

It's been two weeks since I was given the shocking news that Chris, my life partner of 15 years, had passed in our home in East Point, Georgia. And I apologize to those of you just now hearing of this tragedy, but it has been an extremely hard couple of weeks for me even with the tremendous love and support of close friends and family — all of whom want to protect me and shelter me from questions, emails and text messages in order to give me some time to try and heal. I am not saying that I am ready as yet for an onslaught of any of those as the event still feels too fresh and unreal to me, but I thought I should pass along the information as I have gotten a few questions in the past couple of days asking how "we" are doing. I wish I could talk to you all individually, but, well, I just can't.

To those who knew, thank you again for your help, prayers, thoughts, and generosity. I would never have made it through the last couple of weeks without you.

I'm a day early, but I'll be on the road tomorrow, so here's wishing you an early and wonderful, Bieber-filled birthday cousin!

USA: Sad, Sad news

Sandy and Robert's beloved Leslie was lost in a tragic motorcycle accident Monday afternoon in Sterling Heights, Michigan. She was only 29 years old and in the words of Sandy, referring to Robert's relationship with Leslie, "she was like his daughter." That's Sandy, thinking of our Bobby, when she is going through so much pain herself.

I'm sure I can speak for the rest of the clan when I say our thoughts, prayers and all our love go out to you both.
