I can’t stand to hear that message on the cell phone! I wish it was Rob’s voice and his message said “hey, this is Rob. I know I’m in heaven now and you are all missing me pretty bad but hey, please don’t be sad for me. I’m walking with Jesus!!”
Wow, now wouldn’t that put you in a better state of mind?! He might could go on to say that God chose to take him home at 24 years old and has His reasons for doing so and that they would be revealed to us as we go on living on earth. (Some already have been.) He would also say that we all knew him well enough to know in his 24 years he lived life to the fullest every day and advise each of us to do the same. He would tell us that it doesn’t get any better than walking the streets of gold with our Savior and that he is really living life to the fullest now! We just think we know what that’s all about! He would tell us to get our lives right with Jesus so we can experience the same when God calls us to be with Him, don’t miss out on it, he would say.
He worked up high on steel beams as an iron worker and called his Dad all the time saying, “man, you should see the view from where I am right now!” I’m sure he would be telling us the same thing about where he is now except with words of sheer heavenly joy. He knows as humans we will grieve his loss in our lives for as long as we are still here. We will also hold on to the cherished memories of his radiant smile, his quirky sense of humor, his love for his family and friends he considered family, his kindness in helping others and never meeting a stranger.
Robert Allen Hunt, started his life in Bitburg, Germany,then on to California, Georgia, Nebraska, Texas, Virginia and Tennessee, truly leaving a legacy every where he traveled in his 24 years. He touched many lives that will never be the same.
One of the last text I received from him as one he sent several times each week…”hey my bunny rabbit, have a good day. I love you!” I will have a good day, son, knowing where you are and who you are walking with and….I love you ,too.
