All the mothers are there,
there’s not many fathers there,
that’s the kind of family we are.  

Everyone comments
on how good
Robert looks.

Bones can’t help but think:

“Yeah,
too damned good looking
for his own good.  
It runs in the family.”

Thanks Steavenr,

I'm afraid Bones and I were never very subtle.

It's great you liked that line.

Thanks dear Juli,

I'm pleased you found it sad.  Wakes are always sad.

Love Bobby

Yes, this is sad.  I would tuck a cookie in his pocket - one never knows when they might need a cookie on their journey.

Thanks dear Alison,

For the cookie thought.  However, you know how Bones is, he'd probably swipe that cookie right out of Robert's pocket.

Love Bobby
