Four…
months since myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope left us and not a day goes by that I don’t miss him and think back to the countless memories of ordinary and extraordinary moments. And as I sit alone at the dining room table looking toward the living room where he would wind down in the evening or after a late night, I think about the small moments between just the two of us.
- Waking to his morning kiss and hearing him tell me, you look wonderful baby. (regardless of whether his eyes were even open, LOL!)
- Drive safely Darlin’ I would say to him as he left to go to work
- Random texts during the day just to say I love you
- Sharing a vehicle for a week because he couldn’t find his keys
- Waking him up from an afternoon nap with a kiss
- Impromptu road trips – just the two of us
- Loading in and out at gigs
- Working on photos and websites together
- Late night (or early morning) visits to Waffle House
- Watching Casa Blanca and other Bogart films
- Cataloging his vinyl collection
- Hearing him practice in Leilani’s and just hanging out enjoying the music
- Listening to the stories of his childhood and Kamehaha
- Planning parties, get togethers and family Sundays
- Recounting the story of how we met (he was soooo happy when he found out I had a JOB – LOL!)
- Talking of his upcoming retirement next year and of our ten year plan to move back to Hawaii
- Drive safely Darlin’ I would say to him as he left to go to work
- Random texts during the day just to say I love you
- Sharing a vehicle for a week because he couldn’t find his keys
- Waking him up from an afternoon nap with a kiss
- Impromptu road trips – just the two of us

And there were so many more moments between just us, with our families and friends, or as we preferred Ohana. Precious memories of a kind, gentle, talented, smart and funny man. And the magnet on our refrigerator says:
We do not remember days, we remember moments
Today I am filled with gratitude that God orchestrated the story of our lives so that we would experience what it is to finally find our Soulmate. And where one may think there is a hole, it is completely filled with my love for him.
Let all that you do be done in Love. 1 Corinthians 16:14
