311

HOBL and I are finished nesting...
You can come out now Jillian...
I cannot ever have the date of 311 pass
without thinking of Robert.
He and Baby boy loved the band 311
before they were ever as popular as they are now.
Rob was the man with the music even
way back when he was in the third grade.
I do not know when 311 put their band together
but Rob knew and loved them before they
knew they would be famous and as BB
said in a song he wrote about Rob years ago,
"My love from music came from yours"
Yes, bb and Robert danced and sang around my living room
more than a dozen times to the music of 311.
It was not surprising that at Robert's funeral 311
was played and when 311 toured the same year on the date
of 311 they dedicated a song to our Robert.
So wouldn't it be the best gift, the laugh of Robert
from a land none of us have seen to have one of
his best buds from childhood have a hand in little
Jillian being born today.
on 3/11/11
coming only once in a lifetime.
No pressure dear Rob, no pressure
but I do believe BB would think of you if this
baby came to be born on this most magnificent day.
I won't hold it against you dear Rob if Jillian refuses
to be born today, she tends to have a mind of her own.
However, if you have any pull with this innocent child
and the Big Man upstairs, we will take it.
Thinking of you often and especially this day my love.

  1. Wasn't JB conceived at a 311 concert in Alaska? That would have been a cool fact. Notice the wording that keeps us "g" rated although the theme could put us up to "pg" .... although me and hobl could easily get this up to "r" or "x" fast ...
