Two in 2 days...
Normally, I would post something like this on the day it occurred... But after yesterday's post, it would seem out of order / weird to backdate it to the 26th of May.
I wrote about Erez's passing in yesterday's post. Today, I will write about Bob's passing. After seeing all the posts about Erez, it occurred to me that I hadn't seen much from Bob lately. Either on MeWe (his normal channel for posting, where a few months ago, I wrote about him disappearing from there), of on Facebook.
So what happened when I go to Facebook to check up on him? I'm shocked to read of his passing. I knew he had been experiencing a few health issues lately, but did not realise how serious they were. And in the most recent video he posted to his YouTube channel on the 7th of May, he was not looking well at all - but still had an upbeat and positive attitude about his health, and getting better.
The weird thing is... the first time I got to meet Bob in the flesh (after knowing each other for a few years online), was the same day as meeting Erez. At The Midnight Sun in the Castro, San Fransisco, on the 5th of June, 2014.
And I was quite fond of Bob. Not your classic bear, but such a cuddly gentleman, with a gorgeous personality, and a lovely energy around him.
Poor bugger. And his poor partner, Michael (who I didn't really know, and never met, as they only partnered up in the last few years).
Look at his adorable face. I kissed him. I wanted to.
